Those who have a work place with a leave policy that doesn’t require much advance notice should take some advice from local airline FlySafair around using an upcoming public holiday to your advantage. Using a bit of leave – and a bit girl math – this can be taken further and spun into a longer holiday. Or better yet, take off 11, 12, 13 and 14 August, and you’ll turn 4 days of annual leave into a 9-day holiday. Just take note that the pricing is the starting price, and it is valid from today, 3rd August, until 31st October. This is slightly above the stated floor price of R1 578, but it’s close enough.
