South Africa Air Fare Sale Ends June 20th

An airfare sale currently on offer with South African Airways from the USA to South Africa is due to end on Friday, 20 June. Rates start at $1160 including fuel surcharges from selected points on the East Coast and $1295 including fuel surcharges form selected points on the West Coast. Government taxes are additional. Flights are subject to availability and the fare is capacity controlled. Flights are to Johannesburg, however for an additional $100 passengers can connect onwards to Cape Town, Durban or Port Elizabeth. Departure dates are between October 5th, 2008 and March 31st 2008, which is South Africa's summer months. The fare is not available for sale however over the holiday period spanning from December 7th, 2008 to January 6th 2009.

The South African Airways sale represents reasonably good value in this era of increasing fuel surcharges and reduction in capacity by many major carriers. While one would often need a "crystal ball" to determine where airfares are headed in these turbulent times, it is reasonable to assume that unless oil prices drop substantially fares will not be decreasing anytime soon. So as they say "If you know your gonna go" it may make sense to grab one of these sale seats! More details on the South Africa Airfare sale can be found on the TravelSpark website.
