Always make sure you know which airline you're going to be booked on when flying to South Africa in case you need to make changes before you leave. Once you've booked and paid for a specific flight ticket, expect to pay extra if you want to move to another flight.
One of the best ways to find and book a cheap flight is by using an online system which searches for and compares the rates charged by all the airlines servicing the route you require. You simply enter your departure and arrival points and the dates of your flights, and you are presented with a list of the different airline ticket rates. You then select and book the airline you require.
I have placed such a script to the right of this text. Also use it to search for hotels and car hire at cheaper rates.

There are 2000 approx outdoor metered parking bays at Cape Town Airport. In April 2006 the Airport Company of South Africa (ACSA) increased this capacity considerably by building a multi story parkade which will help to accommodate the ever increasing passenger volumes, and allow access to the terminals via elevated walkways. Another multi story parkade is planned.
Secure lockup parking facilities are also provided.
Other Planned Extensions to Cape Town Airport prior to the 2010 World Cup include satellite terminals with underground passenger walkways, more runways and improved aircraft parking.
