The search for cheap tickets to make affordable air travel in the country seemed mostly to be open when fastjet, the no-nonsense airline, finally challenged the monopoly of Air Zimbabwe. Harare Bulawayo Road

They promised a lot like all the no-frills airlines around the world.

With Air Zimbabwe going over $ 100 per ticket, Saturday Lifestyle quietly went to the shelter "fastjet, the affordable airline for everyone in Africa, announced today. As soon as it starts its daily flights between Harare and Bulawayo from July 20, 2018.

"Ticket sales are already open on fastjet.com, fastjet shops and all travel agents, with a special introductory rate starting at $ 59, taxes included, "the airline said in a letter dated July 11. 659004] The ticket price was the catfish, they were $ 130 l & # 39, unity in a sense despite the fact that the first morning flight of day 2 was less than half of the occupation

What pushed prices into a flight as good as a private flight was not clear, maybe pay for the empty seats so that fastjet will be able Do not have the flight break even? Heaven knows it.
