Airlines that fly from London to South Africa for the World Cup

We’ve talked about which airports in the UK will get you to South Africa in the most direct way, so it’s time now to look at which airlines fly from the UK to South Africa for the World Cup.

Keep in mind that although these are the airlines that have the most direct routes to South Africa from the UK, this isn’t the only way to get to the World Cup. As mentioned in another article, if you find a better deal on flights from (for instance) Paris or Frankfurt to South Africa, then all you need to do is find a cheap flight on one of the many budget airlines connecting you with those cities and you’ve just put together a money-saving puzzle. Yes, it’s a bit more of a logistical juggling act, but when you end up with more money to spend on souvenirs in South Africa (or celebratory drinks after a game) you’ll be happy you did the juggling.

>> Don’t miss out on all the news and banter leading up to the tournament (not to mention the live blogs of the games themselves) at this World Cup blog, either.
