Bloemfontein Airport is traditionally a home-away-from-home for intrepid business travellers with affairs in the Free State - as evidenced by the fact that only the country’s most expensive carrier, SAA, flies there. If you’re not such a traveller, but find yourself en route to Bloem anyway, fear not. The airport’s as simple as it seems (unlike most other simple-seeming things).
