What is the longest Flights route in South Africa?
The longest Flights route we sell touching South Africa runs from Atlanta to Johannesburg, 13,566 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 2,484 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.
Where these numbers come from
Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.
Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.
