Star Alliance member Lufthansa is selling very cheap flights from Paris to Johannesburg, starting at only €375. That price, however, doesn’t include luggage. A more interesting option may be to pay €425 to book the Flex fare, which not only includes luggage but is also fully refundable – particularly interesting in these crazy times.
Currently, you have to present a negative PCR test, no older than 72 hours. Otherwise, you’d have to quarantine at a government-appointed facility for 10 days and pay the expenses. You also have to fill out this form. Be aware, however, that this could all change in the future – for better or for worse.
From Paris, you’d first fly to Frankfurt, from where you’d fly to Johannesburg in a Boeing 747. You’ll be served food and drinks on the long-haul flight.
We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.

Information & Tips for Johannesburg
Johannesburg is known for its role in South Africa’s history, with key sights like the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, and Soweto’s Vilakazi Street. The local currency is the South African rand (ZAR), and most places accept cards, though cash can be useful in smaller shops and markets. Prices are generally affordable compared to global standards. The city has a mild, high-altitude climate—summers (October to March) are warm with afternoon thunderstorms, while winters are dry and sunny with cool nights.
