I am thinking of booking a Nationwide Airways flight from Gatwick to Johannesburg. Its an 11 journey and I dont travel well anymore and so would like to know what the economy seating is like as I dont wish to travel in a small seat with no leg room. You know, knees under the chin, the sort of thing Thompsons offer on a 14 hour flight to Thailand would kill me. (And no I cant afford business class at £3000! )
Thanks and best wishes, John.
Nationwide Airlines use a Boeing 767-3Y0/ER, ZS-PBI. They have 32" seat pitch in economy which isn't too bad. I've never flown with them and I don't know anyone who has. However, there are plenty of reviews on Airline Quality.com.

Just a bit of notification - all Nationwide flights have been suspended as the SACAA have removed the AMO operating license.
Thank you and I'm really worried because they are not answering their phones in South Africa.I purchased my tickets direct with them. Any more news would be appreciated, John.
The Skytrax website has some rather disturbing posts about Nationwide. Do read them - but I would think this company would be best avoided.
iIm woried, John Beachcomber.
In particular John maybe interested in the following statement which I hope the HT mods are happy to be included as it says more than I ever could.
Sorry Nivsy, I have had to edit the post for copyright reasons. Would you mind posting a link to the relevant webpage instead please.
Guess not by the looks of things Nivsy. I read your original post and and now its gone. perhaps you'd be better PM the member with the info you had.
Such a meanie David!!
Nivsy, I appreciate your Pm, thanks a lot, John Beachcomber.
No probs John. Received ur message.
Looks like the South African carrier has stopped all operations and ceased flying. Fuel costs and low passengers loads appear to be responsible. Another carrier with good ambition folds.
Blimy wasnt I lucky as I flew home on Monday morning last, lucky to get home by the sounds of it, excellent service by the way,John.
