Johannesburg Flights – How to Find Cheap Airfares to Johannesburg, South Africa
Look At No Frills, Low Cost Airlines
If you are flying from Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Durban or another city in South Africa, take a look at South Africa domestic no frills airlines. Mango, One Time (1 time) & Kulula, all offer cheap flights to Johannesburg. They don’t give you a free on flight meal but you can save when you fly them. Although Kulula, One Time and Mango offer cheap Johannesburg flights, DO NOT IGNORE South African Airways and Comair. Though SAA and Comair are full service airlines, to keep customers they have cut prices on lots of flights .
Go Online for Webfares
If you are a tourist and want to save money on your international flight, you need to go online and find a low airfare booking engine. Just any booking engine will not do. You need to find one that includes both airfares that come from the airlines themselves and airfares that come from airfare consolidators (wholesalers who buy in bulk from the airline). And whether you are a local or a visitor, going online will also let you search and compare webfares from South Africa’s domestic airlines. So going online is a great strategy for finding cheap flights both to South Africa and within South Africa as well.
Travel in the Middle of the Week
Most people want to travel closer to the weekend. So look at traveling Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, you will have a much better chance of getting a discount airfare to Johannesburg. You can save even more on these days if you are willing to travel during a time of day when most people don’t want to travel. For Johannesburg, that may mean traveling in the middle of the day, since most business travel on this route is comprised of people from cities like Cape Town who fly to Johannesburg early in the day and then fly home in the evening.
Finding cheap Johannesburg flights is a lot easier if you know when and how to go about looking. If you follow these tips, you can save money on cheap flights in South Africa and to South Africa even in the era of rising airline ticket prices.
Airfare Questions:
Where and how can I get the best international airfare deal ?
I want two tickets for a trip from Springfield MO (sgf) to Johannesburg, South Africa (jnb) travelling on or around June 25 and coming back on August 10.
So far the best deal is with Delta ($2750 all taxes incl.for us both) But I am sure we can get it for much better than that so now my question is where else can I look are there any really good travel agents or websites?Thanks for any advise.
Someone else asked this question about SGF to JNB yesterday, I found them a cheaper flight on Delta. So if you want to look back you will see the answer.
