How does KAYAK find flight deals under R1 000?

KAYAK aggregates deals from hundreds of travel providers to allow you to quickly and easily compare flight deals from South Africa that match your budget. Utilise the available filters to narrow down deals to ones that are perfect for you.

Is it easier to find one-way or return flight deals under R1 000?

Getting a flight under R1 000, either one-way or return, can hinge on a few things like your destination, the airline you choose, and when you're buying the tickets. Return tickets used to be the standard, but these days, with budget airlines and more competition, that's not always the best option. For domestic flights or short trips, one-way tickets under R1 000 often offer better deals. This is especially true if you're flying with a budget-friendly airline. If you're heading overseas or on a longer journey, return tickets under R1 000 usually provide more value for money. Another savvy way to stick to a R1 000 budget is by booking two one-way tickets with two different airlines. This clever strategy is known as a 'hacker fare'.
