Great flight
Pros: The flight from Windhoek to JoBrg was fast, comfortable and easy. Lots of leg room, very polite service and a meal served.
Cons: The negatives were that the meal was not really to our liking but that could be personal taste and the boarding at Windhoek was confusing. The plane was a little old looking inside but made up for it in comfort and was very clean. If they improved the other 2 issues I would give them a 5 on all counts. Oh and little entertainment but it was a short flight.

Flight Cancellation - Terrible Service
Pros: I was placed in a very nice hotel for the night. Emirates staff very helpful in helping me get on another flight.
Cons: When I arrived at the airport the next morning on January 1st 2017 to get on another flight, the lady at the OR Tambo Air Namibia ticketing office (her name is Happy) gave me a very hard time. She told me that the staff from the night before should not have put me in a hotel, and that she could not give me another flight. Her reason was that I had booked the flight through a travel agency website and so it was not Air Namibia's responsibility to get me on another flight. When I tried to explain to her why it was she started to yell at me. "Don't tell me how to do my job", she said. As I started to explain again that I paid for the flight and that Air Namibia surely received compensation and would not be out any money by placing me on another flight she told me to "stop arguing" with her. I took my claim to the Emirates counter, very upset from a fight I did not need to have and lack of sleep the past two days of traveling. The Emirates staff called Happy over to explain to her why she should get me on a flight. Happy finally agreed, but by this time the flight was about to leave and I almost missed it. Because of her delay, I had to run through the airport, and my bag did not make it on. When I finally received my luggage a week later, it was broken and torn with the contents spilling out. If Happy had better customer service skills and had helped me instead of giving me a hard time, I would not have had the horrible day that I did and resultant destroyed luggage. In my opinion, she should be fired, and I strongly advise Emirates not to connect flights with this airline (who apparently makes these types of cancellations every year). If a customer service representative from Air Namibia would like more details on this matter please contact me at callahcl@gmail.com

Small Plane, On Time, Nice FA
Pros: I took Air Namibia from Victoria Falls to Windhoek. It was a small plane (3 seats across total) which I don't like too much as you feel every like bit of turbulence. With the exception of take off and landing, it was fine. They served food and free drinks even though it was an hour and forty-five minute flight which surprised me. Overall, I was pleased. There were only 14 passengers and one flight attendant.

Disastrous. It left me stranded in Maun for 2 nigh
Pros: Nothing. The flight never happened. I missed the start of my tour in Namibia. Finally had to rent a car and driver along with 2 other people and drive for 8 hours to Windhoek.
Cons: The fact that I got bumped from the flight because the plane was already full then got stranded in Maun for a second night with no prospect of a flight on the 3rd day.

Cons: My air was broken. The flight was nauseating. The flight attendants were extremely rude. There were drinks and food offered to some passengers but not others. The flight attendants did not speak in English and did not seem to care if anyone understood what they said in Spanish. The plane was old and creepy looking.

Pros: No delays. Efficient meal service.
Cons: Cabin crew could be a bit friendlier. It was easy to check in online, but it's not possible to print a boarding pass, so still had to stand in line at the airport.

Mediocre
Cons: Would not recommend air Namibia as service is inadequate. The row of seats that we sat on were broken so we were unable to recline our seats during a 10 hour flight. You cannot do online check-in with this airline so you better be check-in in person early to choose your seats. Otherwise they might give you some really ceappy seats.
