Angolan flag carrier TAAG has an interesting offer for poeple travelling from Lisbon to Johannesburg, South Africa. The airline offers roundtrips at €398, a fare that includes two pieces of checked luggage and board service. Flight times are convenient as well, as the whole trips takes just about 15 hours at max.
A Boeing 777-300ER operates flights between Lisbon and Angola. Its legroom (86 cm according to Google Flights) and seat alignment (3-3-3) make this a very comfortable economy class. Onward flights to Johannesburg are operated either by Boeing 777-200 or Boeing 737-700 aircraft. While some aircraft of TAAG are banned from European airspace, none of the planes in this flightplan rises safety concerns.

Information & Tips for South Africa
South Africa offers a diverse range of attractions, from the iconic Table Mountain and Robben Island in Cape Town to the wildlife-rich Kruger National Park and the scenic Garden Route. The local currency is the South African rand (ZAR), and while credit cards are widely accepted, cash is still commonly used, especially in smaller towns. The cost of travel is generally affordable, with budget-friendly options available for accommodation, food, and activities. The weather varies by region: the coastal areas have mild, Mediterranean-like climates, while the inland areas can be hot and dry in summer and cooler in winter.
South Africa’s transport infrastructure is mixed in quality and convenience. Within cities, public transport is limited, with minibus taxis being common but often confusing for visitors; private cars or ride-hailing apps like Uber are more reliable. Between cities, domestic flights are the fastest option due to long distances, while intercity buses offer affordable travel, though journeys can be long. Trains exist, but are generally slow and not widely used for tourism.
