Intense demand for flights this Easter weekend, along with the skyrocketing price of jet fuel, has seen airfares on the most popular route in South Africa jump to levels approaching R10 000.
A Moneyweb comparison which assumes a person departs from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg for Cape Town at a sensible time on Thursday morning not before sunrise and returns on Monday evening not arriving back near midnight shows that FlySafair, the airline with the most capacity in the market, is the cheapest of the five domestic airlines.
FlySafairs return airfare comes in at just less than R8 400.
