One of the countries that has really burst onto the budget airline scene in recent years is South Africa. This continental power has seen the birth and growth of several discount flight options over the past decade, making it easier than ever to move about the country and Africa as a whole.
Are you looking to book a discount flight into, out of, or within South Africa? Check out these great options.
Mango
Mango, a subsidiary of South African Airways, was a pioneer in African low-cost flights when it was founded in 2006. It now serves a range of South African destinations like Bloemfontein, Cape Town, and Durban, and also provides flights to international cities like Zanzibar.
Kulula.com
No, this isn’t a website; it’s actually an airline! Johannesburg is the host city of Kulula.com, a newer player in South African budget flights. This company is perfect for getting you from the country’s capital to lesser-known destinations around the country such as East London, George, and Port Elizabeth.
FastJet
FastJet is a newer airline, with eventual plans to serve as a Pan-African choice for budget flights. However, it currently focuses on Zimbabwe and South Africa, offering travelers a low-cost option for travel between these two important regional countries.
