Return flights to Johannesburg from £490 with British Airways is solid value for a long-haul jaunt to South Africa. November–December 2026 travel window.
The deal
British Airways return flights to Johannesburg starting at £490 per person. Prices range £490–£510 depending on exact dates. Travel November–December 2026.
Why we like it
Long-haul to Africa at under-£500 is genuinely rare. You're looking at a proper gateway to southern Africa—Johannesburg puts you within striking distance of Victoria Falls, the Kruger, and a few hours' drive to decent hiking and game reserves if you fancy it.
The catch: it's flights only, so you'll need to sort accommodation and transport yourself. Also check the exact dates BA has released at this price; availability will be patchy over the festive period, and you may find yourself at the higher end of that £510 bracket depending on when you actually want to travel.
