We're always looking for ways to help you save moolah, which is why we originally started doing our monthly surveys! Our Mango February flight survey could help you determine which days to travel on, especially when
you are flexible! Although we can't guarantee that the fares are still available (the survey was done within the last seven days), it does act as a useful guideline to help you find the cheapest dates to travel on.
February might be best known as the month of love, but travel wise the lack of public holidays and long weekends also results in affordable domestic flights.
Subsequently February is a great month to explore the country and possibly arrange a romantic break with your loved one. Those in long-distance relationships will also rejoice, with flights on the 13th and the 14th being incredibly affordable on most routes.
Flight prices are pretty consistent throughout the month, with weekends being the most expensive days to travel on for most routes.
Cheapest Flight Prices
* Please note that these prices were surveyed on the 19th and that this is meant to serve as a guideline, these prices won't necessarily still be available. Flight prices are subject to change and availability.
MangoCape Town to Johannesburg : Avoid travelling on Sundays where possible as those are the most expensive days of the month.

"I had a sudden urge to travel to Joburg for my June holiday. I wanted to visit my family and to explore Joburg, because I have never seen it before. I'm a university student and studies had taken a toll on me and I needed a break. I was a little low on the budget and seeked an airline who would not throw my entertainment money for Joburg way out. I used Mango airlines. It was a return flight from Cape Town and to Joburg. I chose Mango, because they have a good
reputation amongst my peers and they aren't as costly as their competitors. They departed on time! I had such a wonderful flight to Joburg, it was my first time on a plane ,so I was very excited. I got to sit next to the window. Where I saw the beautiful blue sky, the land below and the well structured wing of the plane. The airhostesses were professional and so helpful. I'm very claustrophobic, but the seating space is quite roomy and it didnt unsettle me at all. I made a few friends on
my return flight, who I still keep in contact with today. I had a great time with Mango, so I would definitely use them the next time I fly." - Aypril Tyers
