  • Use the low-price calendar: Price differences between adjacent dates are often significant, and shifting your trip by a day or two can lead to noticeable savings.
  • Book 2–4 weeks in advance: The Johannesburg–Maputo route is popular with business travelers, so last-minute tickets can be significantly more expensive than the average fare.
