@AJPhillipson my father is on his way to the airport, but still hasn’t got his passport back from the UK embassy more than a month later. Can he please collect his passport with or without UK visa this AM so that he is able to board his flight and make it to his nephew’s wedding?

@AJPhillipson Hi Antony, would be so grateful for your help please. My father is due to travel to Europe on Wednesday for my cousin’s wedding but doesn’t have his UK visa nor his passport back yet and his entire trip is at risk as he doesn’t have a passport to travel on 🙏🏻

Thank you for any support you can provide please.

@qatarairways Can you ask management to spend a little more money on extra check-in desks and extra check-in agents to drastically improve the customer check-in experience?

[Ian Gordon @ifgordon]

@qatarairways queues like this are unacceptable! What a frustrating and stressful check-in experience at @capetownint! 60 mins+ waiting time! Please improve your customer check-in experience urgently!

Why are there no signs pointing to the e-hailing pick up area in the arrival hall?

@ortambo_int
The official information desks in the arrival hall are teaming with fear-mongering taxi “officials”. What a terrible experience arriving at your airport today!

@ortambo_int
We were told that Uber does not work and that we cannot take an Uber ride from the airport. Another “official” told us that someone was killed yesterday using an Uber. Very disappointing!

Parts of Table Mountain National Park still ablaze behind Vredehoek as smoke cascades down Devil’s Peak into Cape Town’s city centre at 3pm this afternoon. Smoke swirls around the Disa Park Towers and black soot covers the ground.
