I have usually booked City Lodge myself, but I have a new travel agent. I gave her my travel plans and not only did she book my flights, but City Lodge also. I had looked at rates etc, but did not book myself.
So I can't help you. I would suspect it is a website issue and suggest you try again later. I sure appreciate only having a 5-10 minute walk from SAPS to the hotel.
Also, travel agents (at least Canadian Agents) have consistently had issues booking Airlink flights. They seem to not accept Canadian credit cards. I had to have my PH/Outfitter book the flights. If he had been unable to, i would have enlisted Anne from Air 2000/Hunter's Support.
Anne will be supplying my Meet/Greet Service, pre-approved SAPS Firearms Permit, and escort to/from SAPS to the City Lodge. It may cost a little, but I've never had an issue in the OR Tambo airport like some report. I believe that is because I'm escorted by an Air 2000 employee.
BTW, I rate the OR Tambo airport as the best I've experienced in the world (Once in the secured areas.).
The worst? Toronto hands down in my experience. It sucks bad. Major bad. I've decided I'll pay more to route through Montreal, Chicago, Minneapolis, Salt Lake, Denver, Dallas or Houston. Whichever will get me where I'm going. Toronto is just not worth it.
