Good prices for SA
What with the rand hitting around 10 cents today, and Premier Travel offering round-trip tix to Jo'burg for under $500, it's getting harder and harder to justify staying home!

Oh, how I wish for an editing feature! It's under $900, not $500.

I've decided to pay the balance on my April trip today, rather than wait till Feb. Rates haven't been this beneficial for us (in the USA) for a long time.

I think rates are actually around the 10.3-10.4 range as we speak...

I got an email this morning from Premier Travel -- $488 ROUND TRIP from New York or Washington to Jo'burg. I don't know about add-ons from other cities.
