SAA's Voyager program can be used to obtain cheaper SAA flights, but needs to be used very carefully in order to reap benefits from it. The main obstacle is that the "free" flights you get through using Voyager miles aren't really free - you've got to pay airport taxes, and the airport taxes SAA charges are some 700% higher than, for example, Kulula's airport taxes.
Note that the program changed effective 15 April 2011. In particular, flights to Addis Ababa, Dakar, Accra, Douala and Lagos will accumulate 100% of the base miles flown if booked in classes T, V or L in economy class.

It is possible that Voyager program details have changed since this was printed. To ensure that you have the correct details, phone the SAA Voyager program at 086 000 3145.
I booked a return flights from Cape Town to Johannesburg using my Voyager miles, and had to pay R801 for "VAT & Taxes". This compares to R125 Airport Taxes that one has to pay with Kulula Air for a return flight (SAA is R676 more expensive).
In my specific instance it was even worse, as I had an infant with me. Kulula Air charges nothing extra for an infant. However, SAA charged R650 taxes for the infant as well. All in all I therefore paid R1451 for my "free" Voyager SAA flight, which worked out more expensive than the all-in expenses of a flight with a low cost carrier.
