Again, a great read from you with some amazing photos!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Luckily being standby, we were able to just go on the later flight to ATL but that meant sitting around for ~6 more hours. We could've gone into town for lunch or something, but being frustrated, we just hung out in the lounge instead.
At least a positive result of flying standby, I have a friend who had to try get out of JNB for four days, before she could leave!!!!!
