It's Tuesday...Mango Happy Day Sale
It's Tuesday morning & regular as clockwork, it's time for another Mango Happy Day sale! The sale runs from 9am today (28 January 2014) to 9pm tomorrow (29 January 2014) on selected dates. Don't fall asleep at the wheel - the best fares get snapped up faster than the Rand falls against the US Dollar.
Best 1-way fares
*Do not expect to find these fares on all dates (otherwise we'll have to get the kleenex out when you're disappointed), and they may have changed (it's the nature of the beast that is the airline industry) - we also sometimes make mistakes in entering the numbers:
-
OR Tambo to King Shaka from R575* (Has held steady at this fare since increasing by R30 to it at the start of the year.)
-
OR Tambo to Cape Town from R825* (down from R875 at the start of the year)
-
Lanseria to Cape Town from R639* (Still the juiciest deal being offered by Mango - the competition with Kulula on the HLA-CPT route is unreal, and is an indication of what will happen if one of the new airlines get going, like 1time. The fare has held steady at this level over the last few Happy Days sales).
-
Cape Town to Lanseria from R729* (same as last week)
-
Cape Town to King Shaka from R825* (down from R868 at the start of the year)
-
Bloemfontein to Cape Town from R845* (same as last week)
-
OR Tambo to Port Elizabeth from R899* (same as last week)
-
Cape Town to Port Elizabeth from R899* (same as last week)
-
OR Tambo to George rom R775* (this increased from R749 at the start of the year and has stuck at the higher level, so perhaps the competition with Kulula on the JNB-GRJ route has faded a bit)

"I've been fortunate enough to travel in the country and use different airlines. My last trip to JHB was the first time I had used mango. Now usually the air-hostesses are polite people who do what is expected of them. On this flight there was an old couple who were sitting next to be before we boarded the plane. This was the first time they were leaving Durban and the first time they were using a plane! Understandably they were scared and didn't know what to do, but, they were in such good care it amazed everyone on that flight! Mr and Mrs Mkizi had attention and support and most importantly love. Never have I seen that before. Their names were announced when the air hostess spoke and told everyone that this was their 60th anniversary and first flight. It was such a sight to see that everyone clapped and let them leave the plane first, the lady started crying. So thank you Mango for showing people that a little kindness can go a long way!" Rating 5/5
