If you ever hear a flight attendant tell passengers that if they “don’t know how to operate a seatbelt, then you probably shouldn’t be allowed in public unsupervised,” you're most likely flying Kulula Air. The Johannesburg-based airline is known for its sense of humor, along with its affordable rates. Started in 2001, Kulula Air has brought budget air travel to South Africa and beyond on the African continent. Named for a Zulu (the largest South African ethnic group) word meaning “light, easy, and simple,” Kulula offers a full service of straightforward travel options, including car rentals, adventure outings, and even cellular phone packages. Tip: It has been rumored that wearing green onto the wildly decorated green and blue planes will get you a free Kit-Kat from the comedian attendants on board. Gearing up for the World Cup in summer 2010, the South African airline has even begun painting soccer balls on the noses of their aircrafts. www.kulula-air.com
