South Africa, traditionally, a country that was far from cheap to get to from Europe is now available on even the tightest budget.

There, among numerous other options, you'll find that the Scottish low-cost airline flygobespan.com are starting to fly from Manchester to Capetown with prices from just £199.45 one way, including taxes, and the service starts November 8th.
