I boarded at around 1:50PM through the forward door. Upon presenting my boarding pass I was pointed down the near aisle, to seat 5A. As I explained in the Frankfurt to Johannesburg review I wrote, South African's A340-600 cabin consists of a total of 42 seats, spread across seven rows in a 2-2-2 configuration. The…

That airline is Air Namibia, which is the flag carrier of Namibia.
While their most of their fleet is consisted of narrow-body aircrafts like A319 and ERJ 135, They also have two Airbus A330-200 that operates 6 weekly flights to FRA (btw Condor serves Windhoek from Frankfurt twice a week). And Air Namibia isn't a member of any airline alliance.
Your anonymous A319 is Air Namibia. Which you can probably tell by reading the visible titles on the forward fuselage...
Long time reader and huge fan of useless knowledge. That unknown airline you were looking at is Air Namibia
Air Namibia has recently been updating their product. A trip report on their one long-haul route from Frankfurt to Windhoek would be really interesting if you are looking for a new product to review.
It looks to me that the air corridor 737 is used for fire training - which would explain its location
After one person responds with the answer to the question about the airplane, why would so many other people respond with the same answer????
I couldn't agree more. I flew the same route (and went in the Cape Town club) In January. Loved having the 340 seats up front, but I probably wouldn't take them long haul
@Brian - You do realize that those answers were posted within minutes of each other, likely indicating people were answering at once and weren't actually continuously refreshing the page to see if others had chimed in yet? Geez, people will complain about anything.
Flew same route two years ago and was underwhelmed by the service.
Liked the plane itself for the short hop, but the service was "by the book" and I think the book was written under some collective bargaining agreement whereby the crew doesn't have to work.
@ Lucky
I am surprised you don't recognize Air Namibia as I always see it parked across the field from the FRA terminal. 🙂 They do the same turnaround as SAA. In the past its been A340's; however I believe they now have A330's. Take a look next time you're in FRA (which is most likely tomorrow). 🙂
I flew this route in 2014 October in J. Same hard product, but the food was better. Some sort of cold duck. Not bad, not great. A comfortable way to fly domestically.
