Gulf carrier Etihad Airways put a nice price tag on tickets from Europe to Johannesburg. Full-service flights including a checked bag up to 23 kg start at €452. All connections have a (rather long) layover in Abu Dhabi. Departures are scattered between September 2024 to June 2025.
You can fly from the following airports for less than €530:
- Vienna at €452
- Brussels at €461
- Rome at €474
- Milan at €484
- Copenhagen at €524 (~DKK 3,911)
Our calendar displays all available dates up to 28 days. Simply select the airport of origin and the dates that suit you best, and we’ll redirect you to Skyscanner, where you’ll find the cheapest online travel agency. Booking on Etihad’s website costs up to €40 more.
All flights are operated with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Flying from Europe to Abu Dhabi takes roughly 6 hours, while the flight from Abu Dhabi to Johannesburg takes about 8 hours. The only downside of this deal is the rather long layover in Abu Dhabi of up to 7 hours, usually between an evening arrival and a middle-of-the-night connection.

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.
