Fly Blue Crane Reviews

Review by Hannelorie Viljoen: “my family and I decided to use the services of the relatively new Fly Blue Crane Airlines to fly from Cape Town to Kimberly a few weeks ago. I must admit that although I did not know too much about Fly Blue Crane as an airline I was impressed with their service levels and the flight in general. We booked our flight through Domestic Flights South Africa and were able to get a really good deal. The flight itself was pleasant. Thank you to you and we wish you success.” Rating: 4.5/5

Review by Brad Nielsen: “I recently had the opportunity to use the services of Fly Blue Crane to fly from Kimberly to Cape Town. I made my booking through Domestic Flights South Africa and the Fly Blue Crane flight was the cheapest. I did not know what to expect as I usually travel with other airlines. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were courteous and the flight was on schedule. I’m happy to say that I will definitely be using your services again thank you.” Rating: 4/5
