SAA has a wonderful Christmas gift for Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth)! 

The airline has announced it will put on flights from Johannesburg to Gqeberha just in time for the festive season, with flights commencing on Monday, December 12.  

SAA says it will offer three return flights per day to PLZ, using an Airbus A320 on the route. The schedule is as yet unknown.

The carrier will also begin its Victoria Falls service from Wednesday, December 14.

To accommodate Harare-bound customers ahead of the festive season, SAA has increased frequencies to the Zimbabwe capital from seven to 10 a week. 

And for eager holidaymakers wanting to get to Mauritius, those flights have been increased from four to seven a week.
