    Have a look on the statravel web site.... your still a young pup so they will give you discount on the tickets... Students or people under 25 get money off....

    December is always very expensive as all the SA folks head home for Chrimbo. 600 squid is actually very good, id book it!

    I went in june last year and booked mine with


    http://www.expedia.co.uk

    Mine cost £650 each but that was to Durban so there was another internal flight.

    I've just had a quick look and there's some for december for about £450. They are only booking upto Dec 14th at the moment though.

    1 Bonus with expedia is when you select you flight so get a seating chart of the plane and can pre select your seats.

    Also it's best to book your flights as early as possible as they usually get more expensive.

    cheers guys apreciate the help, i'll check out the statravel site. I'm not really a student but the missus is and one of her student buddys can make me up a fake NUS card so that sounds like a good idea! Aye the idea is to get over there in their summer but it dont have to be like mid december or anything really as long as I avoid the crappy british weather eh? lol! Found one here from 1st december return on student fare for £399pp Manchester to Johannesburg! not bad at all!!! I wonder though would i need to get one of those discount cards that they have to prove im a student? cos all i done was select the student box..lol! Expedia aint too cheap really just put on their site the same details and they came back with £653 pp, although im liking the fact you can choose your seats!!! Flash where abouts didya see the £450 ones? I wouldnt mind payin the bit extra though if i can choose the seats! Man that is a long time on an airplane too! so it'd be best to get the best seats! Chears for the help, apreciate it, again!
