We followed another couple who were also connecting to JNB (and were familiar with ADD) and made it to the gate about 10 minutes before boarding. Another big relief.
ET doesn't leave connecting passengers behind for a few minutes delay, especially not those in Cloud Nine. They would have held the connecting flight for you.
Glad you enjoyed the ET experience. As I tell everyone - it isn't fancy, but it does the job! And in Africa, thats 99% of the problem solved.
