Peak Season:

Flight was delayed 2 hours due to technical issues they were having at Zurich airport according to the swiss agent when I called. This caused my connection flight to be unviable. The swiss agent was helpful in finding me a partner airline to fulfill my need to get to final destination in eastern Europe. However, the only flight the agent was originally able to find me was a connecting flight through Frankfurt with a 7 hour layover and not only that but they didnt have space on the flight without upgrading me to a higher cabin class at my expense of 384 euro. I asked if this could be waived since the technical issues were not my fault from the beginning and the agent stated they arent. I ended up paying the extra 384 euro for the agent to call me back an hour later stating he found another flight through Munich with only an hour and a half layover which was great, but when I asked for the 384 euros to be refunded he stated that was included in the price difference for this flight and there was nothing he could do about that. I feel like I got scammed out of that 384 euros as that was a cabin upgrade for a flight I never ended up taking that was supposed to be my replacement for an error they were having on their end. I am grateful for the agent finding me replacement flights that worked in my favor time wise but not in being swindled out of extra charges. I also paid 85 USD to "pick my seats" (which honestly feels like a cash grab on behalf of airlines these days anyways) on my original swiss flight that I did not receive back either since I could not pick my seats on the replacement flights as well. Way to use flight delays for swindling your customers Swiss. Kayak was great as usual but I did not have any communications with Kayak directly for this ordeal it was all through Swiss airlines.

City overview
The capital of Namibia may not be an obvious tourist destination, but it still has its attractions for visitors willing to try something new. It’s the centre of the country’s substantial safari industry, while the city itself displays a blend of British, German and African influences.
Most of Windhoek is not particularly picturesque, but those who persevere will find pockets of interest. The National Gallery is worth seeing. Christ Church is an attractive building — now over 100 years old — which is strikingly constructed from the local quartz sandstone. It’s on the memorably named Fidel Castro Street.
Getting around Windhoek
Windhoek does not have a bus network, but there are plenty of shared taxis. These operate in a similar manner to South African “combi” taxis: you hail a taxi by flagging it down in the street. Their routes are flexible, so don’t be worried if you turn down an unfamiliar road.
Getting from the Airport to the City
Flights to Windhoek will arrive at the city’s main international airport, which is Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH). The most practical way to reach the centre from the airport is by renting a private taxi which should take around an hour. The airport is located around 26 miles (42 km) south of the city centre. The much closer Eros Airport (ERS), less than 5 miles (8 km) out of town, is used only occasionally.
