Air travel in South Africa is no longer dominated by South African Airways, maybe at one time it was but not anymore. In the last few years a few airlines have joined the market and made things much eaiser. This has increased the competition and increased competition is always good for the customers. When the airline are competin for passengers the fares are guaranteed to come down.

So apart from SAA you can now fly on ‘1 Time, Mango and Kulula Airlines. You might not have been aware of it but making a booking for a flight online costs much less than making a reservation by telephone or other means. If you are interested in a lower airfare then make sure you book your tickets over the internet.

The prices of airfares are not fixed; they will vary according to the time of the year and the days of the week. If you are going to be flying between Monday and Thursday you will get charged a lower airfare. This is because the other times are considered peak periods of travel were most people want to be on the move. So passengers are now the ones competing for seat during these times making the prices higher ..

There is now what is referred to as an e-ticket. When airlines use tickets they do not use anything on printing, staionery and people; using them will get you a lower rate on your airfare and the nice thing about them is that they do not get lost.

If you want to compare routes, prices and times you would have to go to each of the relevant airline sites but this could take you time.

You just fill the relevant details concerning your destination and dates and it will give you a list of available flights during that period.
