How much does a flight to South Africa cost?

This depends on the season in which you fly.

Flights are most expensive during the Christmas holidays. Then the price for a flight to Johannesburg can be up to 800€ and more. In our summer holidays the prices vary between 600€ and 750€. If you can leave a day earlier or return a day later, this immediately results in a much lower price.

Outside the holiday periods the price is much lower. If you look carefully, you can fly for less than 400€. Normally the price is around 500€.

You should also take a look at airports other than Zaventem. Amsterdam-Schiphol, Paris – Charles De Gaule or Frankfurt can be cheaper.

Night flights are the most pleasant: you take off in the evening and you are in Johannesburg the next morning.

You don’t have to worry about jet lag either. South Africa is in our summer all year round.
