Will there be any AR members flying to Joberg on Delta 0200 on April 14th. I will be hunting with KMG Safaris in the Eastern Cape. Wish me luck. Jerry Hoover

I hope you have the time of your life. IMO you're hunting with a great outfitter, so the odds are you will love every minute of it.

JG,this twice you have been complimentary or supportive of my humble endeavors. Since we are both Texans, if you are ever in the Austin area,give me a shout and we can share an adult beverage or good stories. Thanks again,Jerry Hoover

I'm not leaving until the 17th...but wanted to wish you safe travels and happy hunting.

I'll buy, as long as you promise to post up some pics of your hunt!

Being a techno dork, I will get my son to post pictures let me know when you are in the Austin area. Jerry Hoover

You'll have fun with Marius. I have to wait until April 24th for my trip to the Kwa Zulu Natal.

Well, I no longer have fly without anyone to talk to. My wonderful wife Carol has changed her mind and decided to accompany me to RSA and KMG Safaris.Life is good when you can what you love with whom you love.Jerry Hoover

I'm sure you & your Bride will have a wonderful safari. I'll be looking for your report!

Best regards, D. Nelson

Carol and I are sitting in Atlanta waiting to board. So far it lookalike the flight will not be full and there may be some room to stretch out and sleep. More to come later. Jerry Hoover

Both delta flights to and from Joberg were packed. I if I ever fly to RSA I will fly economy comfort. Jerry Hoover

The busy season has started...

If you cannot get Economy Comfort, try Row 44 either A or J. I actually like them better than Economy Comfort.

often wondered how you get those seats in Row 44? When you book flights they are never available no matter how far out you book. What's the secret? Because of this I usually book row 29 on the bulkhead.

For some reason they do not always show up as available. But once you log in they are. I got bumped back to Gold for a while and I couldn't book them until I was back up to Platinum. I don't know if the Medallion level has anything to do with it.

Sometimes it pays to call and speak with an operator. They can look ahead and see what is open.

Anyone flying out on this flight May 22???

Good Luck Jerry

A good time was had by all. Posts and pics will follow soon. Jerry Hoover

Will be on this Delta flight on Tuesday, May 17th. 10 day sable and PG hunt in South Africa with Rosedale Safaris. Wife tagging along for her first over to be a observer/sightseeing etc. My 4th time over for hunting.

The trip home was a nightmare. My wife Carol had to sit next to a large man who had some type of upper respiratory problem, the end result being she has come down with a nasty head cold. I had this giant in the seat in front of me and when he reclined the seat and put his 300 plus pounds on it, I lost what little leg room I had. I am 6'1"" and have two titanium knees. Needless to say arriving in Atlanta was a blessing. If I ever go again, I will make reservations far in advance and hopefully get a bulkhead seat or economy comfort. Plan way ahead Eery Hoover
