Hey IFC!
These Europe to South Africa routes are AWESOME! So much mind blowing scenery that I rarely ever get to see. There is also just so much land to cover, and also quite the varsity when it comes to geography. Isn’t it the best?

Server: Expert

Callsign: Speedbird 57 Heavy

Route: London Heathrow (LHR/EGLL) - Johannesburg OR Tambo (JNB/FAOR)

Enjoy!
Our ride for today, starting engines on a cold February morning

Goodbye London! Well, actually 'll probably see it again in a couple of days, I visit LHR quite often.

Nice pics, can’t beat a flight right down the continent of Africa.

South Africa is actually one of my favourite countries to fly in.
If you think JNB is nice, I’d definitely recommend heading south to Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth or George, those coastal cities are absolutely stunning.

Upington and Bloemfontein are also really nice airports in-land. All of these are available from Johannesburg I’m pretty sure.
