What’s interesting about the Mystery Company that I’m so in love with is that I’ve actually been in love with them for quite some time…
Since about March this year, in fact.
The love affair started when I needed to buy a ticket to NYC for my US book release, and the best fare I could find anywhere was R10 000 return (ouch), until I logged onto Mystery Company’s website and found the same trip for R7000 return – including taxes! That’s one of the things I love about Mystery Company – they don’t pretend to be cheap and then whack on huge taxes at the end, they’re all inclusive.
Another thing I love is that their website is really, really easy to use, and easy to check different details on – want to fly another day? No problem. Want to try a different city? Sure thing.
But the thing I love most about Mystery Company is that they’re human. They have all the convenience of an online company, but you can dial a number and speak to a real live human being without any trouble. And I think that’s pretty special in these days of automated answers.
All in all, you can see why I fell in love with Mystery Company, can’t you?
And then we sent through a proposal to them, to see if they’d be interested in sponsoring our flights for our just-around-the-corner Travelling the World with Diabetes journey, and they were interested! And are sponsoring us! Because we’re on the same page. They understand that sponsoring a cause they believe in will help them out down the line.
And that’s really why I love Mystery Company. Because it’s not too often you find people who are on the same page as you, people who speak your language. I am so excited to be working with them for the next 9 months!

Next month they’re celebrating their 10th birthday with some crazy competitions – I’ll keep you in the loop!

Hey, last year when I was looking for tickets to Vancouver, the cheapest ones I found were on travelstart.co.za. But I was afraid it was too good to be true and that there would be some trick up their sleeve somewhere down the line, so I didn’t book online with them, I went through a travel agent rather!!! But if you say you can vouch for the good experience you’ve had with them then I will definitely give them a try next time round! And if they’re sponsoring your tickets, then they definitely get my support!!
I know – the first time I booked with them I was a little wary too… But having real people to answer your questions on the phone is a big plus. And I’ve booked through them a couple of times now and it was an all-pleasant experience
