Methodology
TravelOffice collects fare observations server-side for selected South African flight routes and stores them locally. Public pages read from that stored data. Route statistics use observed prices, daily medians and recent fare history; missing data is not back-filled with estimates.
How to cite TravelOffice
Use the source name TravelOffice™ South Africa Flight Price Index, name the relevant month or route, and link to the report or route page containing the figure. Because airfare is dynamic, avoid presenting a fare as permanently available.
Media and data requests
For a route-specific figure, a comment on domestic airfare movement or a custom extract that can be supported by our stored observations, contact info@tantris.co.za. Please include your publication, deadline and the route or period you are researching.
What the dataset does not claim
The TravelOffice index is a transparent sample of the routes and fare observations we track. It is not a census of every airline ticket sold in South Africa and does not infer missing prices. It is designed to show directional fare intelligence and observed market ranges.
