Seasonal Travel Advice

Cape Town is one of South Africa’s most popular tourist destinations, so air travel demand increases significantly during the summer holiday season between December and February. The Christmas and New Year period is particularly busy, with both domestic and international travellers filling flights well in advance. School holidays and Easter are also popular travel periods. If you’re travelling during these busy seasons, booking several months in advance is recommended to secure better fares and preferred flight times. Travelling during the quieter winter months (May to August), excluding school holidays, can often provide better value on many routes. Cape Town traffic can become congested during weekday commuting hours, particularly on the N2, M3 and routes approaching Cape Town International Airport. Morning traffic is typically busiest between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM, while afternoon congestion usually peaks between 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM. During the festive season, airport traffic can be considerably heavier than usual, so allowing additional travel time is highly recommended. For international flights, arriving at the airport at least three hours before departure is advisable. For domestic flights, arriving two hours before departure usually provides enough time for check-in, baggage drop and security screening.
