With travel becoming more and more of a luxury, travelling locally with budget airlines is the way to go!
For a value-for-money, no-frills experience, cheap airline tickets are available from South Africa’s leading budget and international airlines.
No one wants to pay exorbitant prices for flights, especially if your journey is only a few hours long. This is why budget airlines are the best way to travel, offering you low-cost airfares without you having to save up your voyager miles or anxiously wait for a flash sale.
Most countries have their own budget airlines, offering cheap airline tickets on popular routes for no-fuss travelers who are not concerned with luxuries and extra perks.
Budget airlines have played a crucial role in the expansion of air travel over the last 25 years, creating the opportunity for many more people to be able to travel, for both business and leisure. Passenger growth rate has soared, where people who would usually travel by road, can now book cheap flights on budget airlines – reaching their destination in a quarter of the time.
Many budget airlines have employed strategies to cut costs that will ultimately benefit you, the traveler. Some airlines are able to save on fuel, while others charge extra for baggage allowance, seat selection and on-board refreshments. Frequent flyer miles, business class lounges and cancellation options are also what set budget airlines apart from international airlines.
