FlySafair has conducted annual birthday sales for discounted flights. This year’s event is highly anticipated among travelers seeking affordable domestic flights. The company stated that entry into the booking site is randomized — it’s not about who logs in first; it’s all down to luck.
This year’s flight sales come amid increasing travel competition and fluctuating airfare pricing. The added fees may impact the overall affordability of the tickets. Yet, FlySafair remains one of the cheapest options available in South Africa each year.
