For over 90 years, South African Airways (SAA) has welcomed the world to South Africa with warmth, hospitality and a spirit of adventure. Since its very first flight in 1934, SAA has been more than just a carrier – it’s been an invitation to discover the vibrant heart of Africa and beyond.

Today, SAA proudly serves key regional routes between Johannesburg and capitals across the continent – from Accra to Harare, Kinshasa to Lagos, Lusaka, Lubumbashi, Mauritius, Dar es Salaam and more. Within South Africa, SAA’s domestic routes connect Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth, making it easy to explore the country’s world-famous coastlines, buzzing cities and natural wonders.

Looking to venture further? SAA has boldly relaunched non-stop flights to Sao Paulo, Brazil and Perth, Australia – opening up more of the world to curious travellers. As a member of Star Alliance, the largest international airline network, SAA connects you to more than 1,200 destinations in 186 countries, seamlessly extending your journey wherever you’re headed.

It’s not just where SAA takes you, but how you get there. Every ticket comes with both hand and checked luggage included, so you can pack for your plans with confidence. On board, you’ll enjoy complimentary snacks or a meal, plus a range of beverages – because comfort and convenience should come as standard.

Frequent flyers can unlock even more with SAA Voyager. This generous loyalty programme lets you collect miles every time you fly, with plenty of opportunities to spend them – whether you’re booking your next adventure or upgrading the one you’re on.
