Yes, there is no Thanksgiving holiday in South Africa yet Black Friday has grown to be a retail festival of note, with no one wanting to miss out on great deals. Whilst cheap Emirates flights or British Airways flights are always popular, there is no need to leave the country to cash in on big savings. More so, you don’t even need to leave your house in 2021! There is certainly no better day to get great deals on South African domestic flights and international flight bookings.

Many South African retailers have not only caught on to Black Friday but have also turned to online platforms, to be able to offer incredible deals at a safe distance, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet if the Covid-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that material goods are probably not as important as some of those memories and experiences, we had a chance to reflect on whilst in lockdown, with many yearning for those days of sunset beach cocktails, snow-capped mountain ski holidays, turquoise water snorkeling or ancient city sightseeing.

Expected demand for Black Friday flight specials is huge, as the world reopens to travel and many have had to endure 18-months of lockdown movement restrictions. Quite a few travel agencies decided to skip Black Friday last year, making this year’s Black Friday even more highly anticipated. With supply constraints across the airline industry, Black Friday flight specials are bound to be limited and exclusive.

Some of the more popular Black Friday flight specials for 2021 include Durban to Cape Town flights, flights from Cape Town to Johannesburg, and flights from Johannesburg to Durban. On the low-cost domestic airline front, LIFT Airline, FlySafair, Kulula, British Airways, and Airlink remain the most popular flight options. Mango Airlines remains grounded for this year’s Black Friday. Make sure you visit The Sandton Times Fly page and subscribe to the regular flight specials newsletter to score on some unbeatable deals throughout the year – you’ll be the first to know!

Make sure you get to bed early, get that filter coffee machine ready and set the alarm clock for midnight! As November 26 rolls around, so to will a myriad of well-priced Black Friday deals. Make sure you have a clear plan of where you want to go and when, stay calm and the rest will be taken care of on The Sandton Times Fly page.

Whilst local travel rates remain low, there is probably no better time than now, to explore South Africa. International travel is believed to pick up again in 2022 and that means, the return of premium pricing at many hotels, lodges, and popular travel destinations.

So let the travel start for 2022 on November 26, with some limited Black Friday deals!
