SouthAfrica.TO survey |
No doubt who to choose to fly from Johannesburg to Durban - Interlink is the cheapest (only Mango Airline comes close to it). These are pretty good prices considering that the survey is for flights on the evening of the 26th September, and school holidays start on the 27th September.

This is the second time we have surveyed Interlink Airlines from Joburg to Durban - they were also cheapest on the first occassion. You should also fly Interlink Airlines if you're looking for the cheapest business class flight.
British Airways sets record high price
British Airways are in the record books today for all the wrong reasons - we recorded the highest BA flight price we have seen on the Johannesburg - Durban flight route - R1549 (an astronomical price for a one-way economy class flight).
SA Roadlink cheapest
SA Roadlink are offering the cheapest bus trip from Johannesburg to Durban (R120). The Shosholoza Meyl train is fully booked for the first time (in the short period) that we have have been surveying it. The Intercape bus is charging the highest price we have seen it charge from JNB to DUR (R175).
Joanna does Cape Town
I'm glad Joanna described Cape Point as being the "mythical" meeting place of the Atlantic and Indian oceans, as so many are led to believe that it is the meeting place, and many leave thinking they saw the southern tip of Africa (the honours for that go to Cape Aghulas). She also saw seal island, Chapmans Peak, Noordhoek beach and the seal colony at Simonstown.
The Pampered Beasts of the Airline Industry
"An Airline pilot is the most pampered animal in the industrial zoo. He works as many hours per month as your average yuppie puts in per week. His income is stratospheric. Most of his time on duty consists of sitting in a leather armchair with little on his mind and a spectacular view before his eyes." Denis Beckett from his book "JETLAG: SA Airways in the Andrews Era".
