Voice of Travelers to Cape Town

Back to Cape Town after school.

I am Bakamoso, a student at University of Johannesburg. Last month, I visited my parents in Cape Town and overally, the travel experience was fantastic. I didn't have enough money thus I bought my ticket online after a referral from a friend on where to get a cheap ticket to Cape Town. The cheapest ticket to Cape Town was by South African Airways compared to ticket by other airlines. South Africa Express ticket was more expensive than the other airlines. With a travel ticket as a student, the airline allowed free check-in for the first and second bags. The airline has incredible services, actually I am planning to buy a ticket for my younger sibling to visit me in Johannesburg .

Vacation in Cape Town

I am Agueda from Mozambique. Last spring, I took a break from work and flew to Cape Town for vacation. I had a dilemma in choosing the best airline to Cape Town until a colleague suggested the best airline that offered cheapest ticket to Cape Town. I bought a ticket to Cape Town online after the referral and buying the ticket online was cheaper compared to visiting the travel agents who sold their ticket more expensive. “When purchasing a ticket to Cape Town, it is advisable to purchase your ticket weeks prior to your departure, ticket are cheaper during this period”, he added. I traveled using LAT Mozambique who apart from being cheaper, also offered a 10% off their ticket for any ticket bought within the festive period. The travel experience and staying in Cape Town was awesome. Athens residents are very hospitable and friendly people. I came back rejuvenated and I am on course to achieve my goals and I would recommend any one to take a vacation in Cape Town.
