Troubles with the flysaa website

[jax_maxit]

Hi all.
I have a few upcoming trips from ORT to Cape Town, and wanted to see what prices SAA charge. I also wanted to see the possibility of a business class ticket, but the flysaa.com website has an unresponsive "Find Flights" button and the destination section does not autofill like Mango, FlysaFair, etc. This on Chrome and Firefox (Ubuntu), or mobile Chrome or Firefox on Android Oreo. I can see the prices on Google Flights, but the link to FlySaa after selecting the flights does not display properly.

Not the only problem.

This after the billions in bailouts over the past 20 years:

https://www.flysaa.co.za/


Reported to them in 2016, site disappeared for 1 month then popped up again.

Rather fly Emirates, or BA or Safair.

It's an embarrassment that we can't book flights/purchase tickets directly on the official site. I normally fly Mango or SaFair (depends whether I need to check in luggage or not) locally and Emirates internationally.
Last time I flew SAA I was 9 or 10 years old (in the 90s). I'm curious what the experience is like these days.

Yes I've also noticed this problem on Chrome.
Works on IE or Edge though.
Autofills on these browsers and able to check prices.

Don't even bother though, I'm sure you won't find their fares cheaper. Never have I flown them in my 8 years of flying locally. Mango I have, but everyone else is always cheaper than SAA hence having never flown with them.

Oh that explains.
I have accumulated miles in the Emirates Skywards program and wanted to test the waters by taking SAA down to Cape Town. Longer term I hope to include them on the international legs of my Emirates flights that I pay using those miles.
