How booking Adelaide to Cape Town works

Type the trip the way you’d say it: “Adelaide to Cape Town on the 14th, back the following Sunday, me and my partner”. We read the dates, the people and the cabin from that, then ask the airlines for live fares.

Pick a fare and every traveller is filled in from your profile: names, dates of birth and, when a flight to South Africa needs one, passports. Pay by card, and the airline issues the tickets.
