You can now book tickets to some neighbouring countries and exotic island destinations on the FlySafair website. But there's a catch.

In the wake of these announcements, an initial glance on the FlySafair booking platform would suggest they're already flying to many of these destinations.

In general, FlySafair charges about 10% more than if you booked directly with the operating airline, all of whom run their own perfectly efficient websites. With airline ticket pricing algorithms still among the world's most closely-guarded secrets, it pays to do comprehensive research on all options if pricing is your priority.

"There's still quite a long process to get through once the International Air Services Licensing Council has given their go-ahead. We still have to apply for foreign operators permits with both the South African and foreign Civil Aviation Authorities," Kirby Gordon, the airline's chief marketing officer, told Business Insider SA.
