Hi Friends
I am sure some of you are planning to buy OWERTW tickets from South Africa. I am buying two in the next month. Watch the US Dollar Rand rate , the Rand has come down dramatically recently. You may save a bundle by timing your purchase</font>
Since the first post the Rand came down additional 25% or so against the US$ (about 12.2 SAR to 1 $ now). Using
Darren's example in his post above, 5 continent RTW First class fare Ex-JNB (or CPT) is now $3,752 instead of $4,958 just about 2 weeks ago!
