South African Airways Announces New Airfare Promotion
South African Airways (SAA), Africa’s most awarded airline, announced a 72-hour fare sale, with flights from New York JFK or Washington, D.C. to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Dakar, Senegal, available for only $879* round trip including fuel surcharges, for travel from Nov. 1-30, 2010. Passengers should book their trips to South Africa at this low fare before it’s too late, since the sale ends at 11:59 p.m. eastern standard time on Thursday, Oct. 21st. To book the fare, travelers must call South African Airways’ Customer Call Center at 1-800-722-9675, or visit www.flysaaspecials.com.
“November is the perfect time to visit South Africa, as the spring weather is taking hold, and in Senegal, they’re entering the dry season, which makes the cultural sights that much more enjoyable,” said Marc Cavaliere, executive vice president, North America, for South African Airways. “Travel enthusiasts should take advantage of this great fare before it’s too late, and get to South Africa before the holiday rush.”
South African Airways features daily nonstop service from the U.S. to South Africa with morning departures from New York JFK and afternoon direct service from Washington Dulles (with a stop in Dakar, Senegal) that offer travel convenience and award-winning service.
