Why the fuck is it more expensive to fly to SA than it is to fly to Perth in Australia?

It's because the rand is weaker than the Aussie dollar :rolleyes:

Edit: I mean our currency is a lot weaker than most of the 1st world countries.

Not exactly, because a portion of that airfare goes towards our economic income and taxes going to the government etc... It's unfortunate I know, but hey what can you do really...

Yeah But your taxes are in Rand, so if the rand is weaker to the pound than the Aussie dollar for me, buying a ticket here, in pounds, it should be cheaper since less of my pounds are needed to fill up the taxes in rand than it does in Aussie $. What it means is that your airport taxes are so high compared to Australia that it nullifies the exchange rate making SA a particularly unpopular Vacation Spot.

To give you an idea, for me to buy 1 ticket from here to Cape Town is £1200 return over christmas. If I buy 2 tickets for my Parents to come here its only £1700.

Fucking taxes for ACSA probably.

This. I've heard that the Airport taxes in SA are some of the highest in the world.
