A really good sale from Emirates to South Africa. Couple with the ongoing USJET16 promotion code for $50 off coach per passenger and $500 off business class, you can travel for as little as $685 to Johannesburg.

Flights within South Africa are relatively inexpensive via low cost carriers like Kulula (own by British Airway affiliate Comair) or Mango (own by South African)

Unlike previous Emirates sales, this does not require you to travel with someone else to get this price. So enjoy those solo trips.

Prices to Johannesburg for our coverage cities:

• Boston [BOS] – $785 before discount
• New York [JFK] – $735 before discount

Even without the discount, these are lower than the norm. With the discount, these are really good prices.

How to Search for Availability:

• The best way is to plug your dates on Emirates and then select “My Dates is Flexible” to see pricing. Emirates does not let you enter the promo code USJET16 and have “My Dates is Flexible” at the same time. So find your dates first using “My Dates is Flexible” first, then go through the booking process without “My Dates is Flexible” with the USJET16 promo code to book on the “Book” tab, then select “Search for flights”. You should then see the “Promotional Offers” textbox to enter the USJET16 promo code.
