Hi All,
I am new to this, however, I hope you can help.
I am going on a return trip from Cape Town on 30th November until 15th December from London.
I have had quotes from BA, South African Airways, Virgin etc all at approx £710 per person.
Can anyone beat this quote or advise me on how to get a further discount?
Can you clarify if your journey is originating from London or from Capetown as (to me) it is not clear from your post.
Check sites such as Kayak and Opodo, eg: Kayak are showing return flights originating London from £401 and originating Capetown from £4650 -

Hi,
Apologies for not being very specific.
Flying out London-capetown 30th Novemeber
Flying back Cape town- London 15th December.
I have found a few cheaper prices flying through Dubai but I do not fancy doing this. I would rather have a shorter journey.
Thanks0 -
