True. But the only Airline that is having flights to the Island is Airlink which is a part of South African Airlines. So the you have to fly out of Johannesburg with a quick fuel stop in Nimibia before heading across the water to Saint Helena. Originally there was suppose to be a flight from the North from the UK but because of the wind sheer issue the large plane that would have handled that flight cannot land. The largest plane able to handle the wind and land safely consistently has been the Embraer E190.
The only flights are from Johannesburg to Saint Helena and only one per week except at times there are two flights. There is a direct flight from Atlanta Georgia to Johannesburg. The actual flight from Johannesburg to Saint Helena makes a stopover in Namibia.
Proud that CBS used my footage of the RMS St Helena for this video (They asked permission 1st !) You can find a video of the last Farewell of the RMS St.Helena here: ua-cam.com/video/zC9aSrCbFD4/v-deo.html
The island is so extremely isolated from the nearest landmass that there are still endemic plants that cannot be found anywhere else on Earth and there is an effort underway to restore some of those that have almost become extinct. There are also endemic insects and one endemic Plover bird called The Wire bird.
To be honest I did expect a little bit more I am a bit disappointed because I always wanted to go there since I first learned of the place years ago but they didn't really sell me on it
Ive always wanted to travel to st helena. Thank u for this story and mentioning Napoleon.
What a beautiful Island and it's wonderful people. Beautifully shot. Made me want to go there someday 😘
Very nice report about St. Helena. I've always wanted to know this place where Napoleon Bonaparte spent his last years!👍🏻
If you want to watch a short film of the people who live on StHelena watch this - ua-cam.com/video/I3DMEGGGTzw/v-deo.html
The planes landing look so graceful
bucket list!!
Arlette Gomez I was thinking the exact same thing. Place has incredible history, and looks beautiful
I always wanted to go there since I first heard about it years ago
If I won the lottery I would love to go there,way back in time my family lived there in a house called Wranghams.
Hope one day to get there.
I want to go!
My grandfather 's place of birth and home on my bucket list
Home!! Nice vid ❤️.
Hopefully not too many people head there and clog it up. I'd love to build a vertical wind and produce farm there to serve the locals and become one.
The mail ship would have been easier tbh, less connections required although the journey is longer.
Looks like it would be even better to go from New York to Brazil to Saint Helena

A syncretic society.
Strange. How'd they move the island to it's present location 500 years ago? Where was it before it was there?
I'm hoping you are joking.

Is it possible for Africans to migrate to St Helena?
Goes to show nationalism and cultural pride can transcend race...
Tourist advertising. Niice
But it is a place dark, somber, boring and ... british....
Uninteresting story
steve elliot Just like you steve
You are so right
To be honest I did expect a little bit more I am a bit disappointed because I always wanted to go there since I first learned of the place years ago but they didn't really sell me on it
airport and tourism doesn't help@@gardensofthegods
Maybe a little bit of Tourism helps..right ? But places are always much better when they are a best kept secret .
