#SHSI Episode 12 - DEAR SOUTH AFRICANS: HERE'S WHY PLANE TICKETS ARE SO EXPENSIVE RIGHT NOW!...

Dear South Africans, you are not going crazy; airline prices are high; actually, noo no no no, they are very high, and there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. So BusinessTech ran a study on how local airline prices in South Africa have skyrocketed over the last two years, and let me tell you, I feel like I’ve been vindicated for booking flights and then waking up in the early morning in a cold sweat and I’m going haaah aaah maan, I feel scammed. So the analysis was quite simple; they took the average round-trip flight prices between Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban across airlines such as FlySafair, Lift, Airlink, and SAA. The prices for flights were compared in November 2022 and 2024 for dates over the December holidays. Actually, before we get into what the study showed, drop in the comment how you’re going home and how much its going to cost you. Also, maybe tell us how much December flights are costing you this year and also tell us when you booked them. I want to see something.
