An increasingly
popular tourist destination, especially
after the recent South African World Cup,
Johannesburg is a city well served by world
airlines. The city’s popularity means that
flights are more plentiful, and therefore
cheaper than ever before. If you’re looking
to holiday to Johannesburg on a budget this
year, our guide will help you to keep your
travel costs to a minimum.
Be flexible with flight dates
If you can be flexible with your travel
dates, you can really make savings. Travel
at weekends is more popular, and therefore
more expensive. Look to book through the
week and you’ll not only find cheaper
airfares, but cheaper hotel and
accommodation costs too.
Alternative airports
Consider flying to airports other than
Johannesburg’s main airport. Flights to less
popular areas can be far cheaper, and you
can then take a cheap connecting flight or
alternative means of transport to the city
itself. If you’re willing to extend your
travel time, you can also make savings by
opting for non-direct flights. Travelling
via Amsterdam, Dubai, Frankfurt or Paris may
mean spending some extra time on the plane,
but you can dramatically reduce the cost of
your flights too.
Last minute deals
Look out for last minute deals from travel
agents and online too. Although flight
prices tend to increase over time, the
prices of package holidays can drop
drastically. This is a great option for
families looking to book a low-hassle
holiday, as your flights, transfers,
accommodation, meals and even drinks can all
be included in the package.
Round the world deals
A great way to save on your holiday costs is
actually to extend your holiday. Travel
agents and flight specialists increasingly
offer round the world deals where you can
travel to a specific number of countries
making a specific number of stop offs en
route. By booking all of your flights
through one agent you can make big savings
not only on flights, but on accommodation
too. |
