Mango - November birthday specials

20 Oct 2008. November is Mango's birthday month (their first flight, from Johannesburg to Cape Town, was on the 15th November 2006), and they are celebrating by cutting flight prices in the month of November 2008:

• Leisure fares are 12.5% lower from 1 Nov to 30 Nov 2008 (except fares which already have a discount applied to them)

• Mango Plus flights from the 20th Oct to 10th Dec 2008 are attracting a 10% discount.

Comparison with pre-announcement prices

I received Mango's email at 0558 on the 20th Oct, and checked whether the Mango flight I had looked at on the 18th Oct had changed price:

Date checked	Flight date	Departure time	Route	Price
18 Oct 2008	14 Nov 2008	1819 to 2036	JNB - CPT	R690
20 Oct 2008	14 Nov 2008	1819 to 2036	JNB - CPT	R699

Interestingly, Mango's flight price has actually gone up since they announced the 12.5% deduction (although it must be admitted that even at R699 they would be cheapest).

Comparison with other airlines

Comparison of flight prices on the 14th November Johannesburg to Cape Town flights, departing from 1819 to 2036. For interest sake, I'm also illustrating how the prices have changed since the 18th Oct 2008.

Date checked	Mango	Kulula	1time	SAA	BA
20 Oct 2008	R699	R759	R876	R1194	R1309
18 Oct 2008	R690	R729	R876	R1536	R1514

Interesting how much flight prices change over a 2 day period! Mango & Kulula's flight prices have gone up, 1time's have stayed where they are and SAA & BA's flight prices have gone down.
