South African Airways has cut its lead-in fares on flights to Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town to $1741 from Perth, $1795 from Adelaide and $1961 from the east coast. The fares are available until November 30 for travel from October 21-November 30, January 16-March 31 and August 1-November 30.
“People can travel from any city in Australia to Johannesburg, Cape Town or Durban with direct connections to other centres in South Africa and other African cities using our extensive network,” said SAA’s head of Australasia Thevan Krishna.
SAA is facing increasing competition with V Australia set to start services between Melbourne and Johannesburg from March 2010.
