whats going on Bidvest !?
Yes, I have had poor experiences in CPT recently as well. I had a VW 'transporter' 6 weeks ago on arrival in F. Driver put our luggage in the middle row of seats (why not in the luggage area in the back still beats me) and 'invited' us to sit in the back row, which was tortuous to get into and had domestic Y legroom. Then got lost in Paarden Eiland (on the way to Blouberg). Next time it will probably a 'shared' minibus taxi

Probably worth complaining to EK. Not to get 'compensation', just to get decent CD service. I should have done so at the time, but was too surprised / confused about the whole episode to take it further.
