“What deals are out there?” This must surely be the most asked question of any air travel professional. In today’s economy, airlines are already offering numerous sales to bolster business and this trend looks to continue as 2009 rolls on.
Knowing just when these deals will be released has sometimes proven difficult as airlines have been known to announce specials with little or no prior notice. Consequently, fast action is oftentimes the name of the game when dealing with limited special fare availability.
To this end, Karell Air has just announced a free text message alert service to keep potential travelers aware of new airline offerings to and from Africa. Be the first in the know and sign up for free alerts by emailing info@karell.com with your:

From the Foreign & Commonwealth Office:
With effect from Tuesday 03 March, South African passport holders will require a visa in order to visit or transit the United Kingdom. However, until mid-2009, South African nationals who have previously traveled to the UK on their current passport will be exempt from the visa requirement. This decision follows a global review of the UK’s pre-entry immigration controls and reflects the UK government’s commitment to strengthen its borders.
Commenting on the development, the British High Commissioner, the Rt Hon Paul Boateng said:
“The introduction of a visa requirement is in no way a reflection of any deterioration in our continuing and strong relationship with South Africa. The maintenance of warm and friendly relations and the close links between our two countries remains of paramount importance.
We are committed to continuing to welcome South Africans travelling for legitimate reasons to the UK. The UK remains a favourite destination for both business and tourism for South Africans and will continue to be so. Our aim is to provide a first class service to all. Visas will provide added security and protection for travellers to the UK.
This, together with the introduction of biometrics, will ultimately provide a safer and better experience for the ordinary travelling public.”
