UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

The academic year kicks off soon for South Africa’s university students.

Since a number of students in South Africa study at universities in different provinces to where they live, there is a need for affordable transport.

SAA ROUTES

Many students travel to Johannesburg, Durban, Gqeberha or Cape Town to attend universities.

This is where SA’s national carrier comes in. It is offering special fares for students.

The airline is offering special fares to students for flights from Johannesburg, Durban, Gqeberha and Cape Town.

ELIGIBILITY DATES

These student fares are available for purchase before 31 January.

However, students may travel on SAA’s flights on the specified routes until 11 February.

South African Airways is being very generous to students. It is also offering students free extra baggage with this fare.

This student promo includes 2 pieces of checked baggage at 23 kilograms per piece.  

Therefore, students travelling to university with SAA flights are able to bring 46 kgs of personal effects with them to university.

Then there is also the cabin baggage allowance and the ability to bring a laptop on board too!

This is quite beneficial for students who will be away from home and who will need to bring lots of things with them.
