South African Airways 2 For 1 Sale.

South African Airways have launched a two-for-one from gateway airports New York JFK and Washington Dulles. Well, maybe a better name for the sale might be "One person pays a higher fare but the second person pays only for the tax and gas". Basically the deal is as follows, one passenger pays a fare off $1399 + taxes and fuel charges of $373 making a total of $1772. The second passenger pays taxes and fuel charges of $328. So the total cost for the two tickets is $2100. The fare is valid for travel from JFK or Dulles to Johannesburg departing between 23 January 09 and 31 March 09 and also between 1 October 09 and 30 November 09. There is also a version of the fare to Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth for a slightly higher amount. The fare is capacity controlled with only a limited number of seats made available on certain flights, so you will need to be a little flexible with your dates to get this. Tickets must also be purchased and paid for in full at time of booking and the last day to purchase the fare is 31 January 09. For the record if there is just one of you and you can't convince a friend to fly with you, the current rate for one passenger flying from either JFK or Dulles to Johannesburg is $1229 including taxes and fuel charges. This is based on travel between January 23 and March 31. For those traveling between October 1 and November 30 the lowest fare for one individual traveling alone is $1332. Both of these fares are sale fares and are subject to availability.
