Somizi Mhlongo, known for his larger-than-life personality, recently took to social media to criticize South African Airways (SAA). In an Instagram post, he shared his frustrations about the airline’s business class offering. The post quickly caught the attention of his followers and fellow celebrities, sparking a lively debate.
A Disappointing Business Class Experience In his Instagram post, Somizi shared a photo of his business class seat. He pointed out that the seats looked nearly identical to the ones found in economy class despite the significantly higher price tag for business class. His caption read: “So this is business class.
Seats are the same size as in economy class. But double the price. Pls make it make sense, my dearest @flysaa, coz I really wanna support you.
” Somizi’s post reflected the disappointment many passengers feel when they pay a premium for a service that doesn’t meet expectations. While business class is often marketed as an upgrade with better amenities, this may not always be the case, especially for domestic flights, IOL reported. The High Cost of Business Class Many frequent flyers are familiar with the fact that domestic business class tickets often don’t live up to the luxury and comfort offered on international flights.
Somizi’s critique is not an isolated complaint. Many passengers argue that while international business class flights often provide a comfortable, premium experience, domestic offerings sometimes fail to justify.
