CPT - DUR Mango is cheapest |
01 March 2013 flights |
This week we surveyed travel prices on the Cape Town to Durban route. We found Mango to offer the cheapest flights with a one way flight at R1 259 per person (prices will change). Shosholoza Meyl has now removed their direct train service from Cape Town to Durban, meaning that passengers will have to take the economy or tourist class train via Johannesburg to get to Durban. City to City offered the most affordable fares with a one way bus trip costing R400 per person (prices will change).
Brides-to-be who find themselves in Durban over the weekend of the 1st of March should not miss the NWJ Bridal Show, set to take place at the Durban Exhibition Centre from the 1st to the 3rd of March 2013. Be inspired for your big day with the help of over 100 exhibitors who will be showing off their ideas for wedding decor, food, venues, fashion and photography.
Below we sampled prices of one-way flights, coach trips and train trips from Cape Town to Durban, leaving Cape Town between 13h44 and 20h31 on Friday the 1st of March 2013. Please note that all prices below were valid at the time of capture, but that they cannot be guaranteed by us and are subject to availability.
