    It’s no secret that plastic is one of the biggest threats to our environment. Therefore, you should look for any and every way to avoid using it. Plastic water bottles are a particular scourge so take your own reusable water bottle instead of accepting any of the small complimentary bottles of water you’re offered. The flight to Cape Town only takes a little over two hours so if you’re taking a flight at meal-times on FlySafair, rather have something to eat before you leave to save on at least one set of plastic containers and cutlery. Another eco-friendly thing you can do is check the type of aircraft on the various flights – they’re displayed alongside the other flight details and use Google if you need to identify the latest models as these have more fuel efficient engine technology than the older ones.
