It’s the “Great Escape to the Cape!”

U.S. Dollar Goes Far in South Africa and Provides an Amazing Vacation Value

Just as the dollar continues to rise in value versus the South African Rand and the price of a European vacation inches beyond reach for many Americans, South African Airways (SAA) announces the “Great Escape to the Cape” – where only $890(a) flies you from New York to Cape Town round trip for travel departing during the month of June. There’s never been a better time to travel to South Africa, where the U.S. Dollar was recently exchanging at 1:8 against the Rand, making prices for dining, lodging and attractions in South Africa one of the best vacation values of the year!

South African Airways is the only airline that offers daily direct service to South Africa from New York, so travelers can seek out the fun, adventure, food, wine or romance of Cape Town any day of the week in June with this low fare. Reservations must be ticketed by April 15th through www.flysaa.com, the airline’s reservations center at 1-800-722-9675, or through a travel agent. Taxes and fuel surcharges apply.

“This low fare is available only for a short time, so all the more reason to act quickly, escape to the Cape in June and take advantage of such a favorable currency exchange rate in South Africa,” said Marc Cavaliere, executive vice president, North America for South African Airways. “Why pound the pavement and fight the crowds in expensive destinations when you can enjoy the beauty of Table Mountain, drive the Garden Route, or visit the wine estates, all at outstanding vacation values now available in South Africa? Even more reason why we say South Africa is affordable luxury.”
