Flights are from London Heathrow to Durban via Johannesburg and returning from Johannesburg to London Heathrow with British Airways and Comair.
There might be a wait of several hours at Johannesburg airport between flights.
As Durban is a domestic airport, you are required to enter South Africa in Johannesburg, passing through ‘Passport Control’ and ‘Customs’.
On check in at London Heathrow you will receive one boarding pass, which is for your Heathrow to Johannesburg flight only. If you have checked in on line you might have boarding passes for the London Heathrow-Johannesburg flight as well as the onward flight to Durban. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
- On arrival into Johannesburg ALL passengers transferring to a domestic flight MUST clear IMMIGRATION, reclaim their bags and then clear CUSTOMS.
- After clearing CUSTOMS you are required to make your way to the Domestic Terminal (TERMINAL B). Exit the Customs Hall and turn LEFT. Take the escalator up to the next level and follow the signs for Terminal B. (PLEASE NOTE that South African luggage trolleys have been designed to ‘clamp on’ to the escalator.)
- Check in for your onward flight. You must do this even if you already have a boarding pass. The check-in staff will tag your luggage for your onward flight. The BA Comair check-in desks are usually situated at the far end of the check-in hall towards the Security Control.
Booking Your Own Travel Arrangements
If you prefer to arrange your own flights from a non-UK or regional airport or travel to your holiday destination by rail or car, you may qualify for 'land only' reductions, and we can provide details upon request. Feel free to reach out to us for more information.
Before finalizing any independent travel arrangements, especially if you're doing so 12 weeks or more before your intended travel date, please check with us first to ensure your holiday has been cleared to operate. If you plan to join your holiday locally, kindly inform us at least 14 weeks in advance.
If you're joining and leaving your holiday overseas, we assume, unless you specify otherwise, that you will join and leave the holiday at your hotel.
Although airport transfers are not included for those making independent travel arrangements, you may have the option to join the group at the overseas airport, depending on your flight arrival time. If interested, contact us at least 5 weeks before departure for more details.
Please be aware that your flight must arrive within 30 minutes of the group flight to be eligible for the group transfer. Additionally, we'll need your flight number, arrival time, and departure point to ensure the group leader can meet up with you. If you have a mobile, please ensure we have the number, and it is turned on while you are traveling for effective communication.
Hotel Transfers
When you book a Flight-Inclusive holiday, transfers between the airport and hotel and back are included. On some holidays, where we offer various flight options, the transfer vehicle may wait for all flights to land before transferring to the hotel.
Luggage Allowance & Travel Documents
If you're booking a flight or rail inclusive holiday, rest assured that details of your travel arrangements and baggage allowance will be clearly outlined in your 'Final Travel Documents'. These will be sent to you approximately 10 days before your departure, ensuring you have all the necessary information for a smooth and well-prepared journey.
Personal Details Check
To ensure the accurate administration of your holiday arrangements, kindly verify that the personal details we have for you are current and correct. Confirm that you've given us all the necessary information for securing your travel and accommodation. Please review your passport details, date of birth, and any other pertinent information crucial for the management of your holiday.
Additionally, please make us aware of any dietary allergies or intolerances you may have. Your well-being is important to us, and this information will help us make appropriate arrangements for your meals during the trip.
