There are a number of flights to Johannesburg from Vancouver and these vary depending on the time of the year. Below I discuss only three flights that I believe fit the cheap category but of course this may not be an exhaustive list.

British Airways

British airways is possibly the cheapest flight to Johannesburg from Vancouver. The reason why I say “likely” is because prices fluctuate regularly.

This flight leaves Vancouver at 20:45 and heads for its home country. It gets to the London Heathrow airport at 14:00 on the following day. You will have lots of time available on your hands as the connecting flight will only leave for Johannesburg at 17.50 hrs. From there brace yourself for a night flight of about 12 hours or so. The flight reaches Johannesburg at 06:35 on the 3rd day.

Virgin Atlantic Airways

This flight will arrive in London at 11.45 hrs having left Vancouver at 18.05 the previous day. You have a whole afternoon for sight seeing as the connecting flight departs at 18.00hrs. The arrival time in Johannesburg is 07:05 on the 3rd day.

Lufthansa

This is an evening flight that is also quite chepa. It takes off from Vancouver at 15:40 and flies to Frankfurt. It gets there at 10:50 on the following day. Frankly you would have to book this flight if you are willing to spend a bit of time in Frankfurt as the next flight to Johannesburg is available at 22:35. It arrives in Johannesburg at 10:00 just in time to prepare for lunch.

South African Airways

Another option available to you is checking out cheapest flights to south africa from usa if you want to fly in a truly South African flight. For more details about this flight and prices for all the flights mentioned above you can visit:
