Joburg to Durban flight prices |
3 Dec 2010 flights |
Here's a comparison of one-way flights from Johannesburg to Durban, leaving Johannesburg between 1729 & 2036 on Friday the 3rd December 2010. It's the first time that Kulula's been cheapest on this route since our 2 Feb 2008 flight survey. The survey's a snapshop, and prices will change (maybe even by the time you receive this). We've been surveying the Joburg to Durban since 2007, and this is the first time that Kulula Lanseria flight has been cheapest.

Benjamin August throws his (strong) opinions into the old South African debate about whether Cape Town is better than Johannesburg:
"Don't be fooled by the title of this blog entry -- there is no comparison between Cape Town and Johannesburg. Let me state this very clearly: Cape Town is awesome. Johannesburg sucks."
"Cape Town is a beautiful city with lots of nature, good eats, cool things to do and places to visit. On top of that, it felt safe. The same can't be said for Johannesburg where every house has an eight foot wall with barbed wire and an attack dog in front of it."
"A Cape Town taxi driver summed it up best for me: 'The problem with Cape Town is that tourists feel safe here so they're not scared to walk.' Despite this particular taxi driver's bitterness at not making more money, he was a fair an honest driver. "
""Fair and honest" are two words I would never use to describe 90% of Jo'Burg taxi drivers who repeatedly tried to rip us off and on one occasion tried to intimidate us into paying an exorbitant amount of money."
"Jo'Burg has some nice places but they're all basically malls and promenades. If I wanted to see malls and promenades I could have gone to Los Angeles."
"I hate to be so negative on Jo'Burg but without a doubt it is the least favorite city I have ever been to...except for maybe Detroit."
