Mango's cheap flight ads

5 August 2008. I spotted a Mango Airlines advertisement in today's Business day advertising flights for:

Mango Airlines check-in at Cape Town International Airport

JNB to DUR

from R311

DUR to JNB

JNB to CPT

from R437

DUR to CPT

CPT to BLOEM

from R588

BLOEM to CPT

Mango ad in Business Day

Given that I have just paid some R2000 in return tickets from CPT to JNB, I thought I'd have a look to see whether I could indeed find these remarkably cheap flights. Luckily, Mango has a nifty feature which allows one to search for 1-month low rates.

 

Cheapest flight I could find

Comments

JNB to DUR

R311 (3 Sep 2008 flight date)

Equal to advertised low price.

DUR to JNB

R311 (plenty)

Equal to advertised low price

JNB to CPT

R499 (4 Oct 2008)

Higher than advertised low price

CPT to JNB

R539 (5 Mar 2009)

Higher than advertised low price

CPT to DUR

R435 (30 Sep 2008)

Lower than advertised low price!

DUR to CPT

R546 (plenty)

Higher than advertised low price

CPT to BLOEM

R588 (plenty)

Equal to advertised low price

BLOEM to CPT

R588 (plenty)

Equal to advertised low price

Unfortuanately all of the JNB to CPT and CPT to JNB flights were higher than their advertised rates (is that covered by the asterisk * next to the advertised price?)...but I was astonished to find a CPT to DUR flight going for less than the the advertised rate! If you're flying JNB-DUR or CPT-BLOEM you'll be happy to know that the Mango advertised prices are still around.

I ALWAYS FLY MANGO AND WAS VERY DISTURBED ON SATURDAY THE 2ND AUGUST THE LAST FLIGHT OUT FROM CAPE TOWN TO JHB DELAYED US FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS DUE TO A TECHNICAL FAULT. ALL OF US HAD TO WAIT IN THE WAITING AREA WHERE WE WERE GIVEN SOME REFRESHMENTS. I THINK WE WERE TOO TIRED TO EVEN BE ANGRY. WE LANDED IN JHB ROUND 11:50PM AND I ONLY GOT HOME AFTER TWELVE. dONT THEY CHECK THE PLANE BEFORE WE BOARD?
