BARGAIN FARES

While flights to most destinations are either fully booked or very expensive for December travels SAA’s flights to Gqeberha are attractively priced, representing a real bargain.

The airline offers promotional one-way fares of R713 for flights on this route. However, these flights must be booked by 27 December.

The promotion is valid for travel for the entire seasonal period, from December 13 this year until 31 March 2024. 

Bookings are now open for SAA’s special seasonal schedule from Johannesburg to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). 

GQEBERHA (PORT ELIZABETH)

SAA previously flew to the coastal city also known as the ‘Windy City’ before its relaunch in 2021 – albeit as a much smaller airline. 

SAA was set to relaunch Gqeberha flights a year ago but faced several difficulties in doing so, leading to a delay in the restart of this route.     

The national airline has announced the resumption of scheduled flights between Johannesburg and Gqeberha from next month.
