Flying to Cape Town — your questions answered
- How much are flights to Cape Town?
- The cheapest round trip we currently hold is $675 from New York (26 Feb–11 Mar). These are prices a live search returned, not a standing offer, and they move daily.
- When is the cheapest time to fly to Cape Town?
- July tends to be the cheapest month, as the wet winter lowers demand. Booking 10–14 weeks ahead and flying midweek (Monday or Tuesday) usually gets the best price.
- Are there direct flights to Cape Town?
- Yes. Cape Town has non-stop flights from several major hubs including London, Amsterdam, Doha, Dubai and Frankfurt, plus frequent domestic links from Johannesburg. From most other cities you'll connect once, often via a Middle Eastern or African hub such as Dubai, Doha, Addis Ababa or Nairobi.
- What is the best time to visit Cape Town?
- November to March is Cape Town's warm, dry summer (25–30°C), ideal for beaches, hiking and the winelands. April–May and September–October are pleasant, quieter shoulder seasons, while the June–September winter is wetter but dramatic, with whale watching and lower prices.
