Air travel in South Africa is no longer dominated by South African Airways, maybe at one time it was but not anymore. 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 apart from SAA you can now fly on ‘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.
Depending on the time of the year and the day of the week the prices of air tickets will always vary. So you will find that traveling during the week days of Monday and Thursday will mean lower or discounted fares. The other times are referered to as peak periods where most people want to travel and passengers end up being the ones competing for seats..
There is now what is referred to as an e-ticket. When airlines use tickets they do not use anything on printing, staionery and people; using them will get you a lower rate on your airfare and the nice thing about them is that 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 can provide you with information of all available flights in the country at any time. All you have to do is fill in a few details on a form and within no time you will have your list.
