2010 FIFA World Cup"100 days from today, the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ will begin, and as the flag carrier of South Africa, we’re immensely proud that our homeland is hosting the first World Cup to be held on the African continent," said Marc Cavaliere, executive vice president of North America for South African Airways.  "Fans who have not booked their plane tickets should not despair, as there are still seats to be purchased for travel during the tournament.  But they should take action and book soon, as the excitement continues to build and seats will be snapped up."

In addition, all South African Airways flights in Johannesburg depart from the new, state-of-the-art Terminal B, providing for smooth and timely flight connections through a beautiful and modern terminal packed with many shopping, dining and relaxation options.  A new lounge will provide Premium Business Class passengers with a luxurious haven in which to catch up on work, grab a bite to eat, or freshen up with revitalizing rainfall showers.
