From: "John Beamish" 

I was there 10 years ago and it was pretty much like that.  Gotta remember,
outside of Jan Smuts (Pretoria/Jo-burg), Durban and Cape Town, most
airports are little regional thingys.  I flew to Knysna/George, saw the
signs about checking/reclaiming and asked if there were any left over that
I could have.

I recall the little puddle jumper (no puddles to jump) taking off and the
stew saying "Welcome aboard the SAA flight to ... " ... long
pause ... opens cabin door ... peeks in ... " to Knysna/George". 
(I can't remember though whether we flew to Knysna and took a rent-a-car to
George or the other way round.)
