The routing is non-stop from JNB-CPT on June 8th, returning on June 13th. I didnt think the 400.00 was too incredibly high given the fact that this is during the WC and people should expect to a pay a little more. I know that I have four tickets for the games in JNB on the 14, 17, and 21st; and wasnt about to risk not being able to find seats at a later date. With the smaller inventory of seats between the two cities, my guess is that the prices will only increase when the draw is official.
Interesting. What airline / flight numbers?
