Few points.

 

1) The new name for the airport sucks, it was Jan Smuts, then some generic post-apartheid name, than for convention named to Johannesburg International, and now OR Thambo which is another unimportant post-apartheid name, like renaming all the historic city names, Pretoria is due to be renamed Tshwane.

 

2) I've flown the airline, lovely and friendly, actually get a sense of humour rather than professionalism which is brilliant, I was once jokingly told the reason you put your head inbetween your legs is to kiss your ass goodbye, this made me laugh.

 

3) Not important or relevant, but I was born in Kempton Park (Not the race course) and lived in Bonaero Park Ext 3 all my life, right on the back of the airport :) Such a lovely place to grow up with all the aeroplanes flying around, actually the best point is watching the Antonovs taking off carrying gold/iridium/diamonds and uranium out of the country, they are absolutely huge.
