February is one of the hottest travel months! Not only is it the month of love, it also tends to be one of the hottest months accross the country.
This year we also score one additional day due to the Leap Year! Since there are no public holidays or school holidays to lead to increased flight prices, reasonable flight prices are easy to find on most routes. Mid-week flights tend to be the most affordable.
Passengers on a tight budget should avoid travelling on Fridays and Sundays where possible as those tend to be the most expensive.
Mango Johannesburg to Cape Town : It is easy to find affordable flights this month, just try to avoid travelling on Fridays where possible. |
Mango Cape Town to Johannesburg : Tuesday and Wednesday flights are by far the most affordable this month. |

February might be best known as the month of love, but travel wise the lack of public holidays and long weekends also results in affordable domestic flights.
Subsequently February is a great month to explore the country and possibly arrange a romantic break with your loved one. Those in long-distant relationships will also rejoice, with flights on the 13th and the 14th being incredibly affordable on most routes.
Flight prices are pretty consistent throughout the month, with weekends being the most expensive days to travel on for most routes.

Mango Johannesburg to Cape Town : Travel on the 20th and the 21st to get the cheapest flights. |
Mango Cape Town to Johannesburg : Avoid travelling on Sundays where possible as those are the most expensive days of the month. |

Flight prices were surveyed on the 19th of January 2017. The more time that has passed, the less likely these prices are still available.
February is the month of love! With loads of long-distance couples (thanks Tinder) and V-day's convenient weekend time-slot, we expect heart-eyed travellers in big numbers. Where possible, try to avoid travelling on the 12th of February unless you want to compete with helium heart balloons and share a seat with a teddy bear.
At least as there are no public holidays it leaves the rest of the month free for travellers! Weekends are still busy travel periods as we all love exploring the country when the weather is pleasant, so steer clear of those where possible.
If you're still unsure of when to book your flight, consult our comprehensive flight survey below.

Prices were surveyed on the 28th of January 2016.
Mango Johannesburg to Cape Town : Flight prices are relatively consistent throughout the month, just avoid the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 19th. |
Mango Cape Town to Johannesburg : Avoid travelling on Sundays where possible as those are the most expensive days of the month. |

February is usually one of the hottest months of the year with temperatures soaring into the high 30’s and 40’s across the country. Luckily you’ll only have to suffer for four weeks, no more and no less as this is not a leap year. Best plan your escape to the coast before everyone else gets the same idea, especially if you want to take a loved one with. It is Valentine’s month after all! On that note you might want to avoid travelling on the 14th if you plan on escaping the hype or just want to save a few bucks. Take a look at our survey below to find which dates are the best travel on. Avoid travelling on the 6th and 27th. Rather plan your travels for the 4th and save a few bucks. Maybe you can even treat yourself this Valentine’s!

The prices below were the cheapest we could find on the 3rd of November 2014 for each day in February 2015. Please remember that the more time that has passed since we set up this survey, the more likely it is that prices might have changed. For the most current airfares please visit Mango.co.za.
Mango Johannesburg to Cape Town : Save when you fly on Sundays, just try to avoid Fridays. |
|
Mango Cape Town to Johannesburg :Prices are relatively consistent throughout, although Fridays are slightly cheaper. |
