How to Compare Flights to South Africa


There are a number of ways to compare flights to South Africa. That is, you can use a variety of online and offline methods. In fact I have written a number of reviews about South Africa flights comparisons but today I want to tell you about one of my favorite methods.

That is, using a free flight finder tool

A flight finder tool lets you search for a list of flights and be in a position to see all possible flight options at a glance. There is no need to sift through a number of pages and visiting each flight’s website to check the time and prices. It’s all in one place. The best part is that you can even book instantly by using the “add to basket” tool that normally comes with these finders.

So the first thing you do when comparing flights to South Africa using a flight finder tool is to enter the name of the airport you will be flying from. Some of the best tools will even provide you with a list of all airports from your country of departure. You can then quickly choose from the list.

The nest step is to enter your destination. In this case South Africa. There are 3 international airports in the country i.e. Durban, Cape Town and The OR Tambo international airport in Johannesburg. You need to make your pick. Most people prefer to fly to Johannesburg. In fact almost all the flights fly via Joburg even if their final destination is Cape Town or Durban.

From there you can then choose your date of departure and the return date. There is usually a calendar you can use on the site to check the dates. Then you state the number of people you will be traveling with. In some cases you will be asked to specify by age i.e. how many adults, children 0 – 23 months, 2 – 11 yeas and 12 – 15 years.

From there you simply hit the search button and the tool will search through its database for all available flights. With seconds you will be presented with a list of flights to South Africa from any place you have chosen and to any of the 3 International airports in South Africa.
