Olivia we have not booked a flight from JNB to CPT yet it is too early. We will be arriving from Madikwe at Federal Air at about 1.30 pm if they dont change the scheduled charter flights between now and then. So probably about a 3.00pm flight to CPT, arriving in CPT at 5.00 pm and to Birkenhead House by around 6.00 pm.

You and Peggy could wait for us or the two of you could fly into Cape Town earlier and transfer to Hermanus together. If you are booking this flight in conjunction with your FF tickets then you can book a flight around 3.00 pm and we will just book the same flight. Not sure which alliance you have. South African and British Air are the two main carriers on this route. I usually book South African just seem easier to work with and usually a little cheaper.

I wish we could do it a little earlier. Dont want to miss the morning game drive but we sure could do a flight at about 11.00 am. They are talking about changing the charter schedules we will just have to work it around the charter flight. Madikwe is harder to do private charters than Sabi Sands and a lot more expensive too, so normally I do the scheduled charters to keep the cost down.

Joanna you should have no problem with your luggage as it will be in conjunction with your international flight.

As a domestic flight 44lbs each and any overage up to 70lbs is a flat 50 euros per bag.

This is why I did not include this flight in the safari at this time so everyone could try to get a stopover in JNB and still have their international allowance for the JNB to CPT trip. Otherwise it is 50 Euros per bag overweight.
