How to get the best deal on a Gaborone — Johannesburg ticket

Book 20–30 days in advance: On short regional routes, prices tend to rise sharply just before departure, so booking early will secure a fare AED 301.
Compare baggage allowances: Air Botswana and Airlink often use smaller aircraft where carry-on weight and size restrictions may be stricter than those of major carriers.
Choose daytime flights: Morning and evening departures are in high demand among business travelers, which means seats sell out faster and often cost more.
Monitor the price schedule: Shifting your departure date to mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday) often reveals better deals compared to weekend travel.
