Book your June holiday flights |
20 Jun 2008 flights 24 May 2008 |
To book reasonably priced flights on busy dates one needs to make the booking well in advance. Last week we had a look at flight prices for the June 16 long-weekend. This week we prepared for school holidays. Schools break up for holiday on the 20th June in Free State, Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North-West Province's schools (the rest of South Africa waits until the 27th June). Cheapest economy class flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg is with Mango Airlines (R641), and cheapest business class flight is with South African Airways (R1994).

Once you arrive at Johannesburg you may want to hire a car at O.R. Tambo International Airport : In every single car rental survey we have carried out Tempest car hire has offered the cheapest car rental price. This week is the first week we've added Budget South Africa to our surveys and they came in with a good price of R333. Europcar South Africa is most expensive.

Emy decided not to catch a flight from Cape Town to Durban, but rather to go with the Baz Bus to Umzumbe (where she stayed at the Mantis and Moon backpackers). Her blog is well worth a read - but warning, there are tons of photos (which I like, but on South African broadband it does take a long time to upload). She saw the beach, went bungie jumping (Bloukrans?), white water rafting and saw Nelson Mandela's home.
