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

  • Book in advance: To secure the best fares on Swiss (LX) or South African Airways (SA) flights, try to buy your tickets 2–3 months before departure.
  • Watch the calendar: The price difference between adjacent dates can exceed AED 241, so check nearby days of the week before purchasing.
  • Compare fares: Full-service airlines like Air Canada often include baggage in the price, which can be more economical than the "no-baggage" fares of low-cost carriers with layovers.
  • Use the price dynamics chart: This will help you identify the most budget-friendly periods and avoid overpaying during peak demand seasons.
