(PRWeb) January 21, 2007 -- Global Traveler is pleased to announce that, for the third consecutive year, South African Airways has won the GT Tested Award for Best Airline in Africa. The airline was awarded this honor by Global Traveler readers who participated in a survey that ran in the magazine from February 2006 to August 2006.
SAA will be recognized at an awards luncheon on January 23, 2007 at the Jumeirah Essex House in New York City. Francis X.

Nixon will speak to attendees on behalf of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

By benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, we have the opportunity to help and celebrate personal good fortune by helping those hindered by misfortune. However, I do want to congratulate all of our winners for their achievements in the world of travel and the work they do that puts them a step ahead of the competition."
