Airline Ticket Prices

I've been wondering what to blog about for a while now. So much has been going on lately that finally I made time to get the blog updated.

I got the shock of my life the other day. A friend told me he'd pay roughly R 14 000 for a round trip ticket from Nebraska. He wouldn't be travelling alone, so that rounds up to close on R 30 000.

That might be during our Peak Christmas / New Year period, but then once they get here, they'd need accommodation. Camps Bay is the prime tourist destination. So they'd look at paying about R 2000 a night for a one or two bedroom apartment. Lets say they stay for 10 nights. That's R 50 000. For 10 nights accommodation and flights included.

Then our guests need transport. They decide to rent a smallish sedan at say, R 300 a day. That's a total of R 3000, excluding their fuel costs.

Spending money? I'd want to bring about R 1000 a day personally. So that's another R 10 000 x 2 people.

This leaves me with a total of R 73 000 for 2 people.

Or about US$ 10 000 per person for return flights, self-catering accommodation and spending money.
