Any good deals on flight to Johannesburg in March/April

As the subject says - some adult family members will be travelling then. Prices from London seem to be around £450-550, depending whether they go direct or change in France.

If anyone happens to know of a better deal, or coupon or similar, I'd be very pleased if you told me :D

    hi
    found the cheapest one as followed:
    qatar (heathrow) = £416
    emirates (gatwick) = £424
    air france (heathrow) = £429

    at least save £30 per person.
  • Ooh - thanks. Where did you find the flights? I was looking on travelsupermarket.com

    at the netflights.com
    this is the cheapest online travel agent in uk i could found and they lists out all the airline special offer in one page.

    bought the ticket for £255 return to hong kong by Qantas last week.

    http://www.netflights.com/SpecialOffersGatewayWeb/
    Gateway.aspx?DESTAREA=MEA&DESTCOUNTRY=UAE&DESTCITY
    =DXB&OFFERID=9ac3c2b3-385c-4418-b52e-0136079613f2&CABIN
    =1&PREMIUMONLY=False

    then
    1.
    confirm destination = click 'africa'
    country = click 'south africa'
    city = click 'johannesburg'

    2. click 'update results below'

    then should indicate
    qater is the chepaest at 416


    they can check the availability instantly with the airlines network and book and accept payment in just few click on-line. highly recommanded.
  • Thanks, price on netflights looks a bit better, though interface is a bit of a pain...

    Thanks - should have said, already booked (and no Luftansa cheap seats left for when I'm flying). That's a v good price for those who can get it, though, if it's inclusive of tax etc (taxes and charges are over £250/person).

    The flight is £28 and the rest is taxes & charges. I booked mine for late April
