The economy class prices on the Johannesburg to Cape Town route have decreased slightly since the last survey when we saw British Airways having the cheapest airfare. The business class prices have increased for both South African Airways and British Airways since the last survey. As of June on this route, Shosholoza Meyl will be splitting up the classes onto two different trains. The economy class train will run every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The tourist class train will run every Tuesday and Thursday.
