Cape Town fares this low in high season are rarer than a direct flight from Dublin to South Africa. Star Alliance is dropping return flights to £550–£590 for December through February — prices you haven't seen in nearly three years.
The deal
Return flights from Dublin to Cape Town with Star Alliance carriers, December 2026 through February 2027. Priced from £550 return per person (expect the upper £580s–£590s range depending on exact dates).
Why we like it
High-season Cape Town flights at these levels are genuinely scarce. You're looking at peak Southern Hemisphere summer — blue skies, Table Mountain clear, beaches rammed — yet the price doesn't reflect the demand. Three years is a long drought for fares this sharp.
Star Alliance routing gives you flexibility across partner airlines (Lufthansa, United, Air Canada, etc.), which can mean better connections and schedules than single-carrier alternatives.
One catch: high season means you'll pay properly for accommodation and activities. The flight deal doesn't extend to your Christmas holiday hotel bill. Book accommodation separately — it won't be cheap, but at least you're saving on the airfare.
How to book
Head to Jack's Flight Club to grab the full routing details and book through Star Alliance's website or your preferred agent. These prices move quickly in high season, so don't sit on it.
