Well on that we can 100% agree. LCCs aren't always a saver. And some are very uncomfortable even for a short(er) flight like JNB-CPT. One should always look at the overall costs when pricing tickets.

If OP goes the group rate route a full service airline may be able to give a much better overall deal than an LCC.

For example you might find a Safair flight for R699, add a bag for R150 and you're at R849, for the same day a Mango flight (which includes baggage) is sold for R764
