Our flight got cancelled and the airline was absolutely useless - the Interconti @ JNB helped us survive the horror. So polite, helpful and obliging when we arrived after 1am. Couldn't do enough to help us out - lovely rooms, helpful porters, late checkout, free wifi. Next day, delicious breakfast, staff were a delight; we were really sorry to have... More
