This is a nonstop flight that is currently $2323.09 through STA Travel. If you choose this flight, we will arrange a subsidized shuttle to JFK from Philadelphia. The shuttle would leave Philadelphia at 3AM on July 12th. We are looking into the shuttle costs and will let you know shortly what the student portion would be. If you choose to book this flight through STA, please be sure to purchase the ISIC card, which costs $25, to receive the student price.
If you do not choose to reserve the flight above, please be aware that you should arrive to the B&B in Johannesburg no later than the evening of Sunday, July 15th. You would need to find your own way from the airport to the B&B, which could cost around $100.
