Hi Carol,

We've been checking airfares from RSA to SXM. It seems cheaper to book 2 separate tickets as if one would be flying from RSA to EUR and then another ticket for EUR to SXM. That might also hold true from USA to RSA. Don't fly the MIA-Sao Paulo - CT - JNB trip. It's killing.

The Holiday Inn is okay with little to do and lots of noise. More pleasant would be to stay over in the Sandton area (walking distance from Sandton City and Sandton square). Sandton is a 30 min drive from the Airport.
