International flight prices

Here's a table of cheapest international flight prices we could find each month on the most popular routes to London, Munich, New York, Perth, Sydney, Frankfurt and Amsterdam (may have changed, we set them up on Friday).

Strand Tower Hotel in Cape Town from R683 per couple per night

On the weekend I read a blog entry from somebody who does a daily commute on the Gautrain, from Centurion to Sandton. He mentions how the train has grown in popularity & got so full recently that "passengers cramp in the entry- and walkways" (sounds much like London's tubes in the morning), but that the air conditioning cant keep up.

Last Friday a Kenya Airways flight from Johannsburg to Nairobi was aborted after an hour due to a cabin pressure malfunction, and returned safely to O.R. Tambo International Airport.

I enjoyed reading this thread on what travel is like for a shy introvert - here's an extract:

"I consider myself shy and introverted (more on that later). I spent about 10 years waiting to meet someone who I could travel with. In the end I gave up waiting and did it by myself.

I've travelled in Hong Kong, China, Egypt, USA, UK and Paris.

In China and Egypt I did group tours with Intrepid. Their tours are usually small groups of people (around 12) who aren't looking for a tour of the local bars. Usually a bit more mature and usually full of Kiwis and Aussies. My first day away from home sucked balls. I emailed a friend that "I really want to get on the next flight home". She replied "If you do, I'll kick your ass and put you on the next flight back to Hong Kong". Best email ever.

As soon as the group met up and went out to dinner I was fine. I met two American girls on the trip who I hung out with most of the time and even went to the USA and stayed with one of them the following Christmas. Travelling by myself I got a room to myself, although usually you share with someone (of the same gender) if you are travelling alone.

Egypt was a little different. Didn't really make any 'special' friends, and most of the rest of the group were in couples. I had a room mate but he was pretty sick most of the trip, and had other friends on the tour. Towards the end he figured out I wasn't such a nerd after all, and we got on okay.

I travelled to London, Paris, LA and New York alone. For me the key was having a plan. I'm into theatre and I'd usually start the day by buying tickets to a show that evening. That meant I had a plan for the day and a place to be in the evening. By the time I'd spent all day exploring, having dinner and then watching a show, I was too exhausted to worry about being lonely.

If there is one thing I wish I'd done differently its scheduling some 'alone' time. Maybe a rest day, or a night in a hotel room rather than a hostel. Especially after a long period of 'group' travelling.

The best definition I've learnt for Introverts and Extroverts is that Extroverts are energised by other people, whereas Introverts are energised by time alone. Learning this was a lightbulb moment for me. I am so much happier when I know I just need to schedule some alone time, and that its okay (for me) to not want to go out to a party on Friday night because I need to take time out to recharge."
