Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of Canada
- Most flights from Canada to South Africa involve a layover within Europe. Due to South Africa's colonial past and European ties, you can find frequent and cheap connections to western European cities such as London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam.
- If you are looking for cheap flights between major South African cities such as Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, consider checking South Africa's low-cost carriers Mango and Kulula, as they frequently offer cheap connections.
- To visit the Valley of a 1,000 Hills and Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, catch a flight into King Shaka International Airport (DUR) which is located near Durban.
- Travellers who want to explore the Northern Cape, which is home to the Augrabies Falls National Park and Kalahari Desert, can fly into Kimberly Airport (KIM). This airport is serviced by South African Airways from either Johannesburg or Cape Town.
- Travellers who are hoping to visit South Africa's beautiful beaches or the Kragga Kamma Game Park should fly into Port Elizabeth Airport (PLZ). This airport is located on Algoa Bay in the Eastern Cape Province.
FAQs for booking flights from Canada to South Africa
Which flights to South Africa are the most convenient?
Flights to South Africa always include at least one layover at an international airport. However, the national carriers Air Canada and South African Airlines jointly offer flights from major Canadian hubs such as Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Edmonton International Airport (YEG), and Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Johannesburg with just one layover at a major European airport such as London Heathrow (LHR) or Frankfurt International Airport (FRA). Travellers should note that Delta Airlines offers a direct flight from Miami to Johannesburg. This could be a convenient option, as there are many connections between Miami International Airport (MIA) and cities across Canada.
Do I need a visa to travel to South Africa?
Canadian citizens do not need a visa to visit South Africa for stays of up to 90 days. However, your passport must be valid for at least 30 days beyond your expected date of departure from South Africa and it must have at least two blank pages as you will get a 'temporary resident visa' upon arrival. If your passport does not contain at least two empty pages for the temporary resident visa, you will be refused entry into the country.
Where should I fly to within South Africa?
O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) is South Africa's most important airport, servicing Johannesburg and Pretoria, and is the perfect starting point for your journey due to its many domestic and international connections. If you are travelling to the southwestern region of the country, then Cape Town International Airport (CPT) might be the best option as it handles international flights from Europe and Asia.
I want to visit Kruger National Park. Where should I fly into?
To visit Kruger National Park, fly into The Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP). This airport is located near the city of Nelspruit and is a common gateway into Kruger National Park. Carriers such as AirLink and SA Express offer flights to domestic destinations such as Johannesburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Once at the airport, you can rent a car and get to the national park in approximately 30min.

And I have yet to hear from anyone with Ethiopian Airlines, only representatives from Madrid airport."

Cons: "They weighed my carryon! I haven’t seen any other airline do that before. I flew with them 3 times this year, 13 hour each flight and the entertainment was not the best. They didn’t have enough current movies or tv shows. The food was bland. Coffee cups were plastic and it burnt my finger."
Pros: "I like the Direct route"
Cons: "Long wait time at checkin Only certain employees accepted money for extra baggage fees Long time boarding Most staff were friendly An employee on board with short hair was not nice and her hair wasn’t professional Paid $160 for the extra bag, but it was lost It is still lost!"
Pros: "I went for my honeymoon but ET never transported my luggage. I had to spend my honeymoon buying very expensive clothes and basic needs in Mauritius instead of relaxing. My luggage never came. I got it on my way back to Bamako. Nobody was even able to even trace my luggage or respond professionally on the phone. Out of hundreds of calls I made to them, they only picked up twice. ET screwed my honeymoon that I had planned for over a year. I'm so dissapointed that I don'y even want to claim reimbursement."
