German leisure carrier Condor is currently selling discounted tickets from several European airports to Johannesburg, South Africa. Prices go as low as €310 for a roundtrip from Rome. However, this is a Economy Zero fare, allowing you to take nothing but a small, personal item.
The cheapest fare including a 20kg hold bag and a 8kg cabin bag is €100 more expensive, which still makes a decent price. Flights are available in May, June, late August and September 2025, so right around the summer holidays.
1Flights from Rome have a ten-hour layover in Frankfurt in both directions, which some all people may consider an inconvenience.

All itineraries require a change of planes in Frankfurt both ways. The short flights are operated by Condor’s A320 family aircraft. An Airbus A330-900neo operates the long flights from Germany to South Africa. You can expect personal inflight entertainment, as well as USB charging ports.
While premium economy tickets are just €300 more expensive, please consider that Condor’s premium economy is basically the same seats in economy class with more legroom. Yet, the 2-4-2 seating remains the same.
Most Europeans do not need a visa to enter South Africa, as long as their stay does not exceed 90 days. You merely need a passport with 2 empty pages, and a ticket to leave South Africa.
