Safaris are great but I would skip JNB except for returning after Kruger National Park.

Take the flight to Cape Town. One of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen and I have travelled extensively. Driving up the coast from Cape Town is like Pebble Beach with mountains.

Absolutely my favorite place in the world and the current exchange rate is just ridiculous in our favor. Currently 12.7 Rand to the Dollar. My last trip was 3 years ago and it was 7.8 and I thought quite reasonable at that rate.

Already planning my trip for April!!

Just looked on Kayak and the same fares are available for regular RT YUL-CPT. The fare from JFK is almost 3x as much.

Not sure how to get kayak to price with stop overs.

B) I don't know what you're talking about:



and that's in CAD ALREADY. Blows the OP's out of the water lol.

for reference, 2300CAD = 1755USD over 23192 miles, that's 7.56cpm in BIZ.

.. oh my god I'm so tempted right now.
Anyone know anything about Air Mauritius though?

Thanks, for the answer on the date. When I said late-June, I really meant the end of June / early-July so I could take advanatge of the July 4th holiday and get an extra day on the trip without taking a vacation day.

Where did you get the $2300 fare from?
I can't replicate it.
Google flights shows $2088CDN YVR-JNB but goes up to $3000 when you get to the book with KLM page.

I just go to KLM website and no problem getting those fares for RT. Sometimes when sites switch you around they go from $US to $CA or reverse . Quite a difference!

I know.
I can't replicate your MRU routing or fare. If you see it again, let us know!
Or the teaser that G flights has for $2088.

Any recommendation on the best place to book one of these? AF, KL or another OTA? I'm not sure if AF or KL offer the 24 hr cancellation policy.


TIA

Sub $3K CAD Fares

I tried to book the +/- $2180 CAD fare last night (it was showing into CPT and out of JNB, as well as RT with CPT), which was showing available on ITA, and couldn't get it to price at that fare on google, KL, AF or Delta.

I have repeatedly tried to price these exact segments in the exact fare class out in multiple places and in both USD and CAD. I cannot get this price. I get roughly CAD 3391.41
Did you click one more screen to the ITA fare breakdown page? I wonder if this was just an ITA glitch? Anyone replicate Smiley90's CAD price?

KLM defnitely prices it for about 3150CAD, I'm trying to find an OTA that replicates the ITA fare... Might either a) Have been a mistake fare and gone really quickly B) an ITA-glitch, like accidentally displaying CAD instead of USD for whatever reason.
