AlBrough Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hi all, What time of the year ate flights cheapest? Which airways are good and which are bad?Many thanksAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwyn&Co Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Brough I suggest browsing Webjet.comI think the flights originate in Australia only but it should give you an overview of who flys between SA & Aus and prices (in $).For example Air Singapore is good to Brisbane. Qantas to Sydney, but there is also Emirates and others if you are willing to stopover.I always use Webjet to pick my flight, but then I make a note of the flight details and go onto that airline's own website to book, and avoid the Webjet fee.If you are in SA still I think it will still help you by giving an overview all in one place.www.webjet.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcK Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Flights are cheapest in off peak seasons. Christmas and school holidays usually mean higher airfares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost Aussie Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 If your flight originates in SA, you'll be better off buying in SA without any doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Try the websites Skyscanner or Kayak. It will give you all options and prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aneldari Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Travelstart is a good South African Website to buy tickets from:http://www.travelstart.co.za/My parents used it to buy their tickets from South Africa to Aus.CheersAneldari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordy Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 For the past three years running they have had sales in August to fly in Mid October to Mid November. Otherwise cheapest tickets are Feb to March each year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizM Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Jordy - that's good to keep in mind.. not sure if we'll be ready by that time next year, but I would like to think definitely by the following year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealey Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 If you use one of these websites, does it matter where you are when you book? it's all online anyway right, not like the traditional booking through agencies... I don't use travel agents anymore but wondering if I should use travelstart when leaving from SA and use wego.com.au when leaving from australia? Or is it all the same and I can use either, wherever I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
