To make for easy reading I’ve listed the tips in point format. The tips are taken from a number of reviews I’ve written and I’ve picked the important ones.
Book in advance
Making an early booking is one way of getting a cheap flight. leaving your booking for the last minute will result in late bokking charges which are usually high. The earlier you book the better. Try 10 weeks in advance if you can.
Travel midweek
The best time to travel is midweek. That is, from Monday to Thursday. After this it can get really costly. I mean the weekends are considered peak time since everyone is traveling – if you want to fly cheap to SA, avoid weekend flights.
Book indirect flights
It is no secret that direct flights are costly. This comes with the convenience of direct flying. If you are looking for the cheapest flights in the literal sense then direst flights are not an option.
Travel in winter
If you ever compared flights in summer and winter then you’d know that winter prices are cheaper. This is because winter is considered off peak in South Africa i.e. midyear since we are in the Southern Hemisphere.
Travel at night
Actually most of the flights are night flights. However there are also day-flights, which you must avoid if you want to fly cheap. It always a good idea to double check however as sometimes the day flights might be offering a discount.
