There was a time when South African Airways (SAA) dominated air travel in and around South Africa. In the last few years a few airlines have joined the market and made things much eaiser. This has increased the competition and increased competition is always good for the customers. In the airline industry this basically translates to lower airfares.

So your other options now besides SAA are ‘1 Time, Mango and Kulula Airlines. You might not have been aware of it but making a booking for a flight online costs much less than making a reservation by telephone or other means. So if you want a discounted rate then you can always book your tickets over the net.

The prices of airfares are not fixed; they will vary according to the time of the year and the days of the week. If you are going to be flying between Monday and Thursday you will get charged a lower airfare. This is because the other times are considered peak periods of travel were most people want to be on the move. So passengers are now the ones competing for seat during these times making the prices higher ..

Most airlines have since developed what is called an e-ticket. Since these e-tickets save the airline lots of money in terms of stationery and printing; so the airline can afford to quote you a lower fare and e-tickets are convenient because they do not get lost.

If you want to compare routes, prices and times you would have to go to each of the relevant airline sites but this could take you time. There are sites that have collective information on all the flights within and around the country. All you have to do is fill in a few details on a form and within no time you will have your list.
