Also remember that when looking for cheap flights to South Africa, you should look into some of the guidelines to saving money online.  Remember that the most important thing is to stay flexible.

If you have the flexibility to travel on a weekday, you can save significantly more money than traveling on weekend days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). The best rates are offered for flights leaving Monday through Thursday.

Also look into the best times to book your flight. Try to book your tickets at least seven days in advance, when you can get some of the very best rates on your flight.  However, be careful of last-minute “deals,” which are often not as good as they look: as more and more people begin to travel the world, true last-minute deals are diminishing in number. Also, try to fly to Africa on a holiday, which is considered off-peak by many airlines. You can save quite a bit of money even on already cheap flights to South Africa if you opt to depart during these times.
