Flights to South Africa - How to Find Cheap Airfares to South Africa From Uk, London, Canada, Usa, Manchester, Ireland, Australia, Via Dubai & Asia

Being Flexible Can Save You Money on Your Flights
If you are willing to fly to South Africa on a Tuesday or Wednesday you have a better chance of finding cheap flights to Cape Town or cheap flights to Johannesburg. Airlines generally offer the more discounted airfares to South Africa in the middle of the week rather than over weekends. This is simply a matter of supply and demand. Most people want to fly over weekends or on Friday or Monday.

In Low Season Fly Into Cape Town Then Get A Cheap Local Flight
Most airlines that fly to South Africa have Johannesburg flights, not flights to Cape Town. Johannesburg is South Africa's business capital and by far the largest city with the busiest airport. To keep their airport slots in Cape Town (which is a booming airport in high season) the airlines have to fly to Cape Town in the off season even when traffic is a lot less. Yes, they cut back the number of flights but even then there is sometimes more supply than demand. So compare the airfares for Johannesburg to the airfares to Cape Town - then look at domestic airlines in South Africa to get you cheap airfares between those two cities or to get to Kruger for an African safari. Low season in Cape Town (May to August) is a great time for wildlife safaris in the northern part of South Africa.

Find Discount Plane Tickets To South Africa by Flying Through Another Country
Another effective strategy is to look for flights to South Africa by flying via another city or country. For example look at flights to South Africa via Dubai if you live in the UK or the USA. If you are looking for cheap flights to Africa from Australia look at traveling via Singapore. If you are looking for cheap tickets to Africa from Ireland look at flying via Amsterdam, Paris or Frankfurt. If you are looking for cheap airplane tickets from London, Manchester or elsewhere in the UK, look not just at flying from London but look at flights from the Netherlands. The added benefit here is that you get to extend your holiday by flying through another interesting place.

With rising oil prices, prices for flights to South Africa are expected to continue to be high in 2009, 2010 and beyond. Using these tips will mean you pay as little as possible for your flights to South Africa.
