With no school holidays scheduled for this March, prices are fairly consistent throughout the month.
The only increase of prices can be seen towards the end of the month, likely as we are drawing closer to Easter, and around the long weekend of the 21st or Human Rights' Day.
Some limited routes have availability issues towards the beginning of the month leading to slight price increases or in severe cases no availability.
It is easy to find affordable flights this month as long as you are not travelling over one of the long weekends.
Mango flights from JHB to Cape Town : Friday flights are some of the most expensive on this route. |
Mango flights from Cape Town to JHB : Budget conscious travellers should avoid travelling on Sundays or around the public holiday on the 22nd. |

As the first student break of 2020 falls in March, it is also a busy travel period. Busy periods often translate to expensive periods, but we're happy to report that it is still possible to find affordable flights on Mango Airlines.
This is especially true if you are travelling towards the beginning of the month, but affordable flights are available throughout the month on most routes.
Affordable flights are harder to come by after the 20th of March 2020, when the school holidays start. Flights on the 19th and 20th are generally speaking the most expensive on most routes. On some routes you'll also see price hikes towards the end of the month when the school holidays draw to a close and travellers are returning home.
Look out for dates highlighted in pink below if you are on a tighter budget, as affordable flights are still available this month.
Mango flights from JHB to Cape Town : Friday flights are the most expensive on this route. |
Mango flights from Cape Town to JHB : Budget conscious travellers should avoid travelling on Sundays where possible as it is the most expensive day of the week to fly on. |

March marks the start of autumn in South Africa, the perfect time to finally take that local break! With the summer crowds finally settled at home, this is the time to take advantage of more affordable flights.
The school holidays start on the 18th of March 2019 and gives families two weeks to enjoy the last remnants of summer. Surprisingly it doesn't look like flight prices have surged around the start of the holiday yet, suggesting most will stay home.
Flight prices are however slighly elevated on some routes around Human Rights Day, the 21st of March 2019.
In general, travelers will find flights towards the beginning of the week slightly more affordable than flights towards the end of the week.
Look for dates highlighted in green below to find the cheapest days to travel.
Mango flights from JHB to Cape Town : Avoid travelling towards the end of the week where possible as Thurday to Sunday flights are the most expensive. |
Mango flights from Cape Town to JHB : Budget conscious travellers should avoid travelling on Sundays where possible as it is the most expensive day of the week to fly on. |

This survey was completed on the 15th of February 2019. Prices are all subject to change and availability.
March starts out fairly quiet, with no key events taking place before the 21st of March 2018. It is only after this date that the peak travel period starts taking effect on flight prices.
South Africans celebrate Human Rights Day on the 21st of March. This mid-week public holiday does not really influence flight prices with flights remaining fairly affordable until the 28th of March when the school holidays start.
Flight prices increase dramatically during that last week of the month, as the school holidays kicks off and Easter Weekend start. The weekend of the 30th of March is a long one - starting with Good Friday and ending in April. Flight prices increase during this period on most routes and dramatically so on some.
Look out for dates highlighted in green if you want to have cash left over for easter eggs!
Mango flights from JHB to Cape Town : This is one of the most affordable routes with very consistent prices. Travel on Mondays and Tuesdays to get the cheapest flights. |

This year Easter is coming early! Although it is usually reserved for some time in April, this year the chocolate festival is taking place from 25th of March (Good Friday) until the 28th of March 2016 (Family Day).
The school holidays also start on the 18th of March 2016, resulting in some very popular travel dates from the 18th until the 26th with quite a few routes already sold out around those dates.
Expect flights to be more expensive on most routes from the 18th of March onwards. Some routes are already sold out on the 18th, 19th and 24th of March 2016, so it is advisable to book your flights sooner rather than later.
Mango flights from JHB to Cape Town : Avoid travelling on Fridays as they are the most expensive, rather travel on a Monday or Tuesday. |
Mango flights from Cape Town to JHB : The cheapest flights can be found on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Avoid travelling on the 7th and 27th where possible. |

These flight prices were checked on the 29th of February 2016. Prices and availability might have changed by the time you book these flights. Always check available flights and prices online for an accurate presentation of what is available.
There is but one public holiday in March, Human Rights' Day. Unfortunately there are no long weekends or weekdays off as the 21st is a Saturday. If you're one of those lucky people who are still able to turn it into a long weekend, you might want to book now as prices are not yet elevated on those dates.
On other dates it varies a lot depending on the route, with the first and last days of the month being the dates you want to avoid. Generally flying in the middle of the month on a weekday is the safest bet.
Note that the below list of 1-way flight prices was set up on the 5th of January 2015, and airfares may have changed since (the longer it is since the date the airfares were set up, the greater the chance that prices have changed). Check at Mango what the latest airfares are; and click here to see whether there are any flight specials on the go at the moment.
Mango flights from JHB to Cape Town : Prices differ dramaticallyfrom the beginning of the month to those on the 16th and 17th. |
Mango flights from Cape Town to JHB : Avoid flying back on the Sunday after the public holiday or the last Sunday of the month. |
