Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AIR NAMIBIA (081-543 2122), which begins a weekly scheduled service from London Heathrow to Windhoek on Monday, upset British Airways and South African Airways when it announced an introductory return fare of pounds 299.
The fare was so successful that all economy seats have sold out on services until 6 October: the airline reports 'limited availability' in business and first class. From October, the cheapest fare on the route will be a Superpex return which will cost from pounds 550 to pounds 830.
As most seats on the Air Namibia special offer appear to have been bought by people travelling on to South Africa, it seems likely that there is a substantial market waiting to take up the lower fares to Johannesburg promised for this winter by Virgin.
