So, you’re at work, home or school and haven’t moved from your computer in hours because you are trying to book a FlySafair R2 ticket.
Sadly for you and many others, you haven’t succeeded and gathered from what we’ve seen on Twitter, you’re probably experiencing any of the following feelings right now:
Frustration
You’ve been on FlySafair’s site, which isn’t even working properly, since 9am when the sale started, but you keep being pushed from 182 in the queue to 2578.
#flysafair site is down? WTF pic.twitter.com/jeyHLh2V4c

“Is this even real?”
You’ve tried so many times and so have your friends/colleagues/roomies etc, but you’re not successful and haven’t heard of any one who has booked a ticket.
Surely this is a PR stunt, right?!
I’ll give R500 to anybody who shows me someone who managed to get a R2 flight#flysafair

Lowkey starting to believe @FlySafair is playing all the games w/us. Pacman, SuperMario, Mortal Combat, all of them. #flysafair

Defeat
You’ve spent three hours intently locked on the FlySafair, have been booted far down the waiting room list and “just can’t deal” anymore. You are defeated.
Facing up to the prospect that the #flysafair queue number will never move. If I refresh page, I’m done for (-_-) pic.twitter.com/Jl1MgYGaNS

It also doesn’t help that you’re seeing victory tweets from those who got through and booked their flights.
