Posted on February 27th, 2010 in Internet business Online by iptools  Tagged

There was a time when South African Airways (SAA) dominated air travel in and around South Africa. Over the years however three other airlines have emerged offering flights within the country and have leveled the playing field so to speak. Them entering the market meant increased competition amongst the airlines. When the airline are competin for passengers the fares are guaranteed to come down.

So your other options now besides SAA are ‘1 Time, Mango and Kulula Airlines. Comapred to most other means of making a booking, making an online reservation is the cheapest. If you are interested in a lower airfare then make sure you book your tickets over the internet.

The prices of airfares are not fixed; they will vary according to the time of the year and the days of the week. So you will find that traveling during the week days of Monday and Thursday will mean lower or discounted fares. The other times are referered to as peak periods where most people want to travel and passengers end up being the ones competing for seats..

There is now what is referred to as an e-ticket. When airlines use tickets they do not use anything on printing, staionery and people; so the airline can afford to quote you a lower fare and e-tickets are convenient because they do not get lost.

If you want to compare routes, prices and times you would have to go to each of the relevant airline sites but this could take you time. There are sites that can provide you with information of all available flights in the country at any time. You just fill the relevant details concerning your destination and dates and it will give you a list of available flights during that period.
