Flights CPT - DUR

[DrewChan]

An acquaintance of mine books kalula for her CPT - DUR flight and gets British Airways everytime, is this normal? I'm flying to Durbs in December and BA is a big step up from my usual (Mango)

 

[I.am.Sam]

yep BA and kulula normally switch you on one of the flights if the other is empty

and you get food and drinks in BA

It's definitely a win to book (and pay) Kulula and get put on the BA flight.

Perfectly normal, Kulula & BA have some agreement on this. If I am not mistaken, it is called codeshare.

British Airways own Kulula. Same way South African Airways own Mango. Kulula and Mango are their respective economy flights. It would be a score to pay Kulula rates and fly British Airways

Yep. I also stand to be corrected, but they are both managed and run by COMAIR

The number of numerics in the fight number give away if it is a standard BA or Kulula flight. If memory serves the prefix changes but the number for the BA flight stays the same. It's been a while but if memory serves the longer number means BA. This works for DBN JHB as well.

The BA flights are more expensive than a standard Kulula one when booking Kulula.
