FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- South African Airways (SAA), South Africa's premier airline and the continent's most awarded carrier, is giving away 30 pairs of roundtrip tickets in 30 days in celebration of its 70th Anniversary of excellence in the air. For a 30-day period, July 1st - July 30th, 2004, customers can register to win at http://www.flysaa.com. South African Airways will randomly draw the name of one lucky winner each day to receive two roundtrip tickets from the United States to South Africa.
"Commemorating 70 years in aviation is an incredible milestone," said Mark D. Ellinger, Executive Vice President for South African Airways, Americas. "There is no better way to celebrate South African Airways' longevity and success than to invite people to experience what we do best -- taking people in style and comfort to the wonders of Africa."

U.S. residents can register for the "70 Years in Aviation" drawings by visiting the South African Airways website at http://www.flysaa.com and selecting the United States from the "select a country" drop-down box. A special "pop-up" window will then invite visitors to register for the drawing.

Winners will receive a pair of roundtrip economy tickets from the United States to South Africa for travel beginning September 1st and valid for one year. Air travel will be provided from the airline's New York and Atlanta gateways on South African Airways' direct flights to Johannesburg or Cape Town, South Africa.

Registration for the drawings is limited to one entry per person. Ticket winners must be 18 years of age, are eligible to win only once, and will be notified within a 24-hour period. Passenger travel must originate in the United States and certain blackout dates apply.

Launched in 1934, South African Airways flew its first international flight in 1944 aboard a converted bomber that carried 14 passengers to Blackbushe, England, over a span of three days. Today, SAA's non-stop flight time of 15 hours and 25 minutes from Atlanta to Johannesburg is the quickest and most direct route from the U.S. to South Africa.

Together with its network of nine international alliance partners, South African Airways provides convenience in helping travelers to reach more than 700 destinations across the globe. The airline also serves more than 20 destinations across the continent of Africa, enabling passengers to connect to numerous gateways with ease.

The only airline to provide direct flights from the U.S. to South Africa, South African Airways features daily departures from New York and Atlanta that couple travel convenience with award-winning service excellence. The airline features a young fleet enhanced by new Airbus aircraft featuring the latest in airline comfort and entertainment options, as well as a style of service and warm hospitality that is proudly South African. The airline's new Premium Business Class is among the most luxurious in the skies, featuring 24-inch- wide, horizontal lie-flat beds and unparalleled service and entertainment offerings

Thanks for the info. Kathi, but I went to their website and was not able to find anyplace to register for the drawing.

Do you have to login to an account to register?

From what was in the release, it looks like registration does not start till 7/1. I'm going to have to find a computer in an airport because I'm leaving for RSA 6/30 . . .

Mark,
