Booking tips
How to fly this route for less.
- For an early Cape Town departure, confirm transport from your suburb or accommodation before choosing the flight. Allow separately for reaching CPT, checking a bag and clearing domestic security; the gate-closing time is not an airport-arrival target.
- Plan the transfer to your hotel, family address or onward accommodation before choosing an arrival time. If continuing to Addo or beyond the city, ask the accommodation provider for a collection quote and check whether the flight time fits that arrangement.
- Compare the fare with the bags and optional extras you need. If an itinerary connects, check the full elapsed time, ticket arrangement and bag handling before choosing it.
