20 December 2013 flights |
In this week's survey, we compared the prices of travel from Cape Town to Durban on the Friday before Christmas. Flight prices have increased significantly since the last survey done on this route due to the travel date being in the peak holiday season. Mango offered the most affordable rates to Durban, with their one way flight on Friday afternoon priced at R1 545 per person when we checked (prices will change). Bus prices have shown a steep increase with the cheapest option offered by Citiliner with their Friday morning bus at R475 per person (prices will change). The most affordable car hire we found for the weekend in Durban was a Citroen C1 or similar. Please note that all prices could change.
