Best way to get to CT

[PsyPhin]

So i'm on the way to Cape Town for the weekend in September. Does anyone know the cheapest possible way to get there (pref some kind of student discount on a plane).

I am a student but can't really afford to waste time getting down or money, any suggestions?

From where?

From where?

Johannesburg, will need return btw

1time or SAA are usually cheapest. Dont know bout any discounts.

Maybe check Gumtree for car pooling options?

SAA has been cheaper than the rest for a while, and I find recently that British Airways is even cheaper than SAA (not a lot cheaper, granted, but if every cent counts, that extra R100 will be useful ).

 

[PsyPhin]

every R100 counts trust me, but SAA is like double the price of say Mango

Huh?
Their fuel levy alone is more than a kulula flight.

For a weekend - flying is the only option.

I found that SAA cheaper than all from CT to JHB for dates in August and September.

If money's the problem take the bus, it's a hell of a long sit but its cheap.

I am planning a few trips to/from Jhb-CT in the coming months, and trust me, I have looked at every single airline each time. I've looked at at least 4 different date options for September/October (haven't quite decided when I'm going to do the trip yet), and SAA and BA have, without exception, been cheaper than the rest. Mango does come in just behind SAA. Kulula has been excessive in comparison. Ditto for 1time.

buses are only about 200 cheaper than planes, rather save that on the 18 hours ill save on a plane. Looks like there is no better way.

walk, its free and good exercise

cost me R1200 return with SAA two weeks ago

Plane is the only way to go, bite onto the tyre if it's to expensive.

Book early so you get the cheap seats.

Hitch hike.

Explain that last sentence for me please...

 

[adielh]

He means that he cannot waste any time getting to Capetown (short holiday) or wasting a lot of money getting here , Eg toll gates, traffic fines, etc etc etc

DO NOT TAKE A BUS!

...I swear to you you will live to regret it ...if you live.

Just to be perfectly clear here: Do. Not. Take. A. Bus.

I will not fly SAA again, ever. Must be the ****tiest bunch of jerks ever
BA is the best, but if cost is a concern, do 1time.
Just look and you will notice that there is times in the day where it is cheaper to fly than say morning or afternoon.
