Tips for finding cheaper domestic flights in South Africa

SOUTH AFRICA —

Travellers can secure cheaper local flights using price comparisons, membership discounts and flexible payment plans.

Several airlines operate interprovincial routes in South Africa, making travel easier but finding good deals can be tricky.

Comparing prices with online tools helps find the best fares. Platforms like Cheapflights and Skyscanner simplify checking both domestic and international routes. Clearing browser cookies may prevent price hikes while early booking often saves money.

Travellers should check existing memberships for potential discounts. For example, Discovery Bank’s Vitality Travel programme might offer savings.

Payment options like Fly Now Pay Later through PayJustNow, HappyPay or Float allow travellers to pay in instalments. Used responsibly, these make flights more accessible.

Regularly checking airline deals and subscribing to newsletters helps travellers stay informed about promotions.
