Thanks for joining the #TravelSkills chat! Today, we’re talking the best of South Africa with @united!

A2. My longest flight as a passenger has to be either Los Angeles - Narita OR Los Angeles - Germany / Italy? It kind of sucks living in LA because it takes forever to fly to Europe. As a flight attendant I've had a lot of looooooooooong delays. Do those count? #TravelSkills

With a layover? 25 hours. Without a layover I think was 16 hours. #travelskills https://t.co/f0E3cteO25

I recommend to friends if traveling to SA for the first time to do so with an organized tour, leaving OR Tambo airport is the riskiest part. If arriving in Cape Town hire a car and drive the Garden Route. Just be aware 100% and don’t go off the main roads #travelskills https://t.co/yu38fmNTX5

A4. South Africa’s credentials as a safari and adventure travel destination are well established – but its vibrant and diverse #culinary and wine scene is often overlooked! #TravelSkills


A4 I'd like to know best places to see- and support- wildlife in South Africa #TravelSkills


replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis Safety Sit in major cities. One hears stuff so what is the truth #TravelSkills

I think it's important for would-be visitors to know how inexpensive South Africa is. I ordered a large pizza (excellent) with tons of ham & arugula + a glass of good red wine at a nice hotel in Cape Town and paid about $9.50 USD. So cheap! A4 #travelskills #SouthAfrica @United

replying to @TrinityMattrix @TrinityMattrix We spent the holidays in India before. It was great. New Years in Udaipur. It was beautiful #TravelSkills

South Africa, and particularly the Western Cape is great for road trips. The scenery is amazing and the roads are good (drive on the left). Here’s one from Cape Town: https://t.co/aD4ntrTrpy #travelskills https://t.co/6k1OQffORK

A4 - Cape Town and surroundings are great for outdoor activities. Hiking up Table Mountain is a must, but there are other amazing hikes, bicycle tours, running path ... The landscape is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. #travelskills

replying to @Heather_Poole @Heather_Poole I actually prefer those long flights to Europe if in biz class! Better chance to sleep than from East Coast #TravelSkills

replying to @theplanetd @theplanetd I didn't have any. I wasn't even sure if I'd be allowed to have my phone on for the music! Had Lufthansa's in-flight playlist to keep me company. Outbound flight was an overnighter, but I couldn't sleep. #TravelSkills

A4 How different each city is and the diverse experiences that can be found witihin each city, including stays at lovely boutique and upscale properties. I think it’s equally important to visit historic sites, from Robben Island to Mandela’s home #TravelSkills https://t.co/UjDw9UYk2b

That sucked. #TravelSkills

A3. #Tasmania. While some parts of the Australia can be uncomfortably hot during that period, the island's temperature and the weather are moderated by the surrounding oceans. Perfect time for a hike. #TravelSkills


A4: More adventures for the Dynamic Duo @theplanetd ! #TravelSkills https://t.co/F4BXWcZLaI

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @JimByersTravel @JohnnyJet Hawaii really is special during the holidays. I still love spending a white Christmas in Toronto and then thawing out in Hawaii for New Years. Not going this year but next year! #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united A5 Do your research. Find out what entry requirements, vaccinations, meds you need. Find out the places to go and the places to stay away from. #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united A5 Ask your doctor about any vaccinations you may need before traveling to Africa. When I went to Cape Town, I didn’t need any, but you do need them if you go on safari. #TravelSkills

A5. Advice for first-times in #SouthAfrica? Don’t just do the “Top 10 experiences” and go see safari animals. Explore the current human culture: music, food, art, sports, beer & wine. #TravelSkills #travel Photo: @PotLuckClubCT
