New forum proposal for South African Airways | Voyager

Hi there

I'd like to propose that a new forum is created for "South African Airways | Voyager" under "Airlines and Mileage Programs".

Few reasons:
1) Many of the posts in the "Other Middle Eastern and African Airlines"
forum relates to South African Airways - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/other...-airlines-471/

2) SAA is ranked as the top airline in Africa by Skytrax for the 13th year in a row http://www.flysaa.com/za/en/flyingSA...ax-awards.html

3) SAA has a pretty good frequent flier program, Voyager. Furthermore, SAA is part of Star Alliance which means your UA miles / AC aeroplan etc can be redeemed for SAA flights.

4) SAA services international flights to South Africa as well as African regional flights. Many travelers go there for both business and pleasure.

5) Occasionally, there are deep J class discounts to South Africa via SAA which can be shared on the forum.

6) There's really no reason to not showcase an African airline in its own forum... even domestic budget airlines airberlin and WestJet has their own threads

Not sure what is the procedure but please highly consider.

Thanks,
Eddie



EDIT: Proposed name/forum format:

------

South African based airlines and mileage programs
South African Airways (SAA) | Voyager | British Airways (Comair) | Mango | Kulula | Safair | SA Airlink | Skywise Airlines | South African Express

------
