Business class flights from Johannesburg to Durban
Only SAA (South African Airways) and BA (British Airways) offer business class flights from Johannesburg to Durban - SAA calls it Premier Class and BA calls it Club Class. In our view BA offers a better ride than SAA. Mango offers Mango Flex & Mango Plus which are a step up from their standard offering, but not at the standard of SAA & BA business class seats. For upmarket train trips from Joburg to Durban, try the Premier Classe.
