December School Holiday Flights |
06 December 2013 flights |
Reward the kids with a trip to the coast after a hard year of school work and take them to the Umhlanga Summer Carnival. The carnival will be held over 14 days and will feature loads of fun filled beach activites for the whole family. Visitors to Umhlanga Rocks can expect to be involved in surfing competitions, beach games, sailing competitions, trail runs, carol singing and a street party.
We compared the prices of travel for the first weekend of the South African year end school holidays. We found Mango to offer the cheapest flights on the Friday evening, with a one way flight to Durban at R804 per person when we checked (prices will change). The bus prices have shown a slight increase since the last survey done on this route due to the start of the school holidays. The cheapest rate we found was R200 per person for a one way bus trip with City to City (the prices will change). If you would like to hire a car during your stay in Durban, be sure to check Car Trawler who displayed the most affordable car hire prices when we checked.
The below survey looks at flight prices from Johannesburg to Durban on the 6th of December 2013, leaving Jo'burg between the times of 17h29 and 20h36. This is not an offer, only a snapshot of prices, we're pretty sure prices will have changed from the below by now.
