Posted: January 2nd, 2010 | Category: Travel and Leisure

Most people think it’s not easy to book a flight in South Africa. Well, the truth is, the South African flight industry is up to date with technology and you can book flights in South Africa online and even by telephone.

There are 5 Airlines that operate within the country i.e.

· Mango
· 1Time
· South African Airways
· British Airways
· Kulula

From my calculations there are about 144 routes within the country. That is taking into consideration the possibilities of to and fro journeys from all the airports in the country. These include the following airports;

· Johannesburg (JNB)
· Cape Town (CPT)
· Durban (DUR)
· Port Elizabeth (PLZ)
· George (GRJ)
· Bloemfontein (BFN)
· Kimberley (KIM)
· East London (ELS)
· Hoedspruit (HDS)
· Nelspruit (NLP)

Cape Town to Johannesburg

Booking a flight on Mango means you leave Cape Town for Johannesburg at 05.45 hrs and arrive at about 07.45 hrs . There is also 1Time, which leaves Cape Town at 06:45 and gets to Johannesburg at 08:45.

South African Airways will depart at 06.00hrs and arrive at 08.00hrs in Johannesburg.This is one of the most expensive flights in South Africa together with British Airways. Bitish Airways leaves Cape Town at 08.40 hrs and arrives at 10.40 hrs.

Johannesburg is the centre of most of the flights that are within South Africa. That is, most of the airlines fly via Johannesburg for most of the routes within the country. For example, the British Airways flies from Durban to Nelspruit via Johannesburg. British Airways flights are the ones that have more stop overs in Johannesburg. Whilst the other flights have direct flights in between the different destinations across the country.
