Are you still to book your flights from the UK to South Africa? Then this offer may be of interest to you:

I’ve just received an email from Flight Centre with this offer:

Cape Town from £475*	Ref: CPTLONKL1
Destination: South Africa (Cape Town (CPT)), Cape Town From: London Heathrow, London Departing: 08 Jul 07 - 08 Dec 07 Flight Class: Economy Fare Deal Ends: 31 Dec 07 Details: Cheap Flights to Cape Town from 475.00 Call 0870 499 0040

It’s the first cheap fare I have seen in a while that has travel dates vaild for our Festival. It’s return to Cape Town, however you could easily get to Durban using one of SA’s low cost domestic airlines:

So if you’re interested you should phone Flight Centre straight away.

If you have no luck, then a good place to start searching for other options is:

Kayak is a “meta” search engine, meaning it searches all other airline search engines.

Another option for London to SA, is one SA low cost airlines - Nationwide. They now also fly to Gatwick. Sharon & I will be travelling with them:

If you need any advice just let us know.

Good luck!
Chris & Sharon
