According to the fare rules, tickets for this deal will be sold until December 4th. But we wouldn’t rely on cheap seats still being available by then. This offer is valid for trips commencing between November and October 2020. But you won’t find availability in July since those weeks are apparently blackout dates.
Stay for at least 6 days or spend a night from Saturday to Sunday in Johannesburg in order to get this deal. The maximum stay requirement is three months.
Google Flights (instructions) will display all available flights and prices correctly. Since there are still plenty of open seats, you shouldn’t have a hard time finding dates that suit you.
