Alan and rwilso15 - do you recall how long before the Airlink flight you arrived at the airport for the flight to Livingstone? And how long the security and check-in process took? We will also be staying at the Intercontinental the night prior to our flight and will have had claimed our luggage on arrival.
I don't remember the exact times except our flight from JNB was supposed to leave at 1040 but it was a bit late. Overall it was similar to what rwilso15 experienced- check in and bag drop was quick and easy. We had plenty of time to eat and relax in the SAA lounge (We flew from JNB to LVI on SAA which was still in business in 2019. The other option back then was Comair which was a partner with BA)
There is no guarantee your flight path will be the same, but get a window seat on the left side. We could see the Magadikgadi Pan, the Zambezi, Victoria falls, the Royal Livingstone, and the gorge. Actually our flight was less than full in Business class so I was able to hop back and forth and take photos from both sides of the aircraft!

Thank you, Alan. Great pictures.
Great pictures of the falls.
