1) Amazing SAA Voyager’s ultra low award specials.

Back in November 2014 SAA Voyager gave notice of changes, a re-invention of sorts. Come February 2015 the changes came into effect ( or is it affect ? ). Seems award miles had all shot up, this included surcharges and fuel levy’s thought. What would normally cost me 9000 miles + R700 tax for a domestic one way award now the mile burn ratio is 13000 miles + R160 in tax. The last part of the re-inventions, namely Journey Blitz awards has just played out. The redemption awards are damn good, could even be better than promotions by KLM/Air France’s Flying Blue of up to 50% off and Qatar’s Qmiles special club easy deals offer. It has to be redeemed on SAA flights so there are limitations with regards to destination’s.

I’ve found R30,000 off business class to Abu Dhabi Return with 64,600 miles redemption costing only R8900. ( Normally R40,000 return).

Economy on the same route 14800 miles + R4000 taxes return.

(I priced the above route normally and it ran at 89,500 Voyager miles + only R850 taxes).

How about New York economy, 40,000 miles + R6000 taxes return

Domestic routes run at 7400 miles and R1400 tax.
