Airlines

Postby MandyK » August 1st, 2007

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could suggest some cheap airlines for a single flight from Cape Town to Manchester. Unfortunately Mad, I have to book my flight home after months of being away and wondered which were the best / cheapest airlines to use.

All advise is appreciated

cheers

Now is a rather expensive time to be travelling as it is peak season going in that direction. We also don't have a huge amount of competition bringing flight prices down, for international flight. So expect to pay Around R5k to R6k for a one way ticket.

Best way is to contact multiple travel agencies and see what they come up with. There aren't any low cost airlines in SA for international travel. Club Travel or Flight centre come to mind.

Sorry I may have given off the wrong impression there, it will be early next year but I want to get it booked so when I leave everything is sorted.

In that case you may find flights at that time for around R3500 to R4000 for a one way on special. Keep and eye the sites for Club travel and flight centre.

I kno this sounds a blag but you could try flying from jo'burg, the price of the internal can often be less than flying straight. Air France and the middle eastern carriers often have alternating deals on.
