Our airline price quotations use a family of four, with two kids under 12 but old enough to need their own seat. So we tested a very specific, and very common trip: escaping Johannesburg as soon as it shuts down for Christmas. If you want to get ahead of the crowd, which will only grow with every payday, now is the time to plan your travel for the summer holidays.Īverage prices can be misleading, though, and that goes double for price forecasts. On the other side of the coin, the speed with which banks moved to reimburse Comair ticket-holders suggests it is a safe investment to lock down tickets early, if you can plan that far in advance, even in a market in deep turmoil.
Any promotions, for instance, will be on very limited seat numbers, outside of peak times. There is no foreseeable reason why prices will go anywhere but up from here. Seats are available, and at not much of a premium either, even for peak travel days. That would be on the order of a miracle, with predictions including a long-dragging war or ongoing isolation for Russia after its defeat, but nothing that would see Russian oil suddenly flow to NATO customers again.īut grim as all the forecasts are, prices for flights far enough ahead – such as December 2022 – are currently pretty good. One theoretical positive change for airline prices would be a sudden resolution of the war in Ukraine that sees invader Russia welcomed back to international trade.
