Default world cup 2010 information about South Africa

SOUTH AFRICA WORLD CUP INFORMATION

When to book flights to South Africa
Currently 2 airlines offer direct flights to South Africa from the US,
Delta and South African Airways. Several European airlines fly direct
to South Africa from London (BA and Virgin Atlantic), Amsterdam (KLM),
Frankfurt (Lufthansa), and Paris (Air France).

You can also fly via the Middle East, through Dubai (Emirates); from
Hong Kong (Cathay Pacific); Varig flies direct to South Africa from
Brazil and Qantas flies from Sydney.

International flights are not scheduled more than a year in advance.
If you get a package tour together then this will usually include a
flight and that way you should be able to guarantee yourself a seat.

If you're really stuck getting a flight into South Africa, try flights
to Windhoek in Namibia (via Frankfurt) or Gaborone in Botswana (via
London), both of these cities are a bus ride away from either Cape
Town or Johannesburg. You can also try flying in to Nairobi (Kenya)
and catching a regional flight down from there on Kenya Airways or
South African Airways.

South African Stadiums for the 2010 worldcup

Where Will the Matches Take Place?
The 2010 World Cup will play out in ten stadiums across South Africa
(see map). Many are currently under construction in Cape Town, Durban,
Johannesburg (2 stadiums), Mangaung/Bloemfontein, Nelson Mandela Bay/
Port Elizabeth, ]Nelspruit, Polokwane, Rustenburg, and Tshwane/
Pretoria.

Look for accommodation and flights into Johannesburg if you want to
see matches in Johannesburg, Rustenburg, Pretoria and Nelspruit. These
are all situated in the north of South Africa and the stadiums won't
be more than a 3 hour drive away. Polokwane (Pietersburg) is about 5
hours from Johannesburg and is considered one of the safest towns in
South Africa.

Bloemfontein is in the middle of the country and will host several
matches in the Free State Stadium. Bloemfontein is a small city of
approximately 370,000 people and the judicial capital of South Africa.

Durban lies on the warm Indian Ocean coast, it has fantastic beaches,
excellent surfing, lots of culture and a good nightlife.

Cape Town, one of the world's most beautiful cities is on the southern
tip of the country where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet.

Port Elizabeth lies in between Cape Town and Durban on the coast in a
region called the Eastern Cape. This is a popular tourist area and
there are lots of domestic flights available. A perfect place from
which to explore the popular Garden Route.

Getting Around to Matches
South Africa has a comprehensive domestic airline industry and all the
towns and cities that will host World Cup matches have airports close
by. South Africa's domestic carriers include:

* South African Express offers 13 South African domestic flights.
