Air Austral gives more so you can get to Reunion Island for the ultimate experience

If you have ever needed an excuse to go to Reunion Island, here it is. As from 9 December 2016, Air Austral will be adding an additional flight on the Johannesburg – Reunion Island leg which means visitors now have an extra chance to book their dream holiday to this ultimate destination!

The new flight schedule comes in response to a strong demand from Air Austral’s customer base and in order to offer them more travel options. The original flights departed Johannesburg at 10h15, and arrived in Reunion Island at 17h30. The return flight to Johannesburg departed Reunion Island at 07h30 (Thursday and Sundays outbound and inbound).

The new flight schedule (Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays) is as follows:
Johannesburg / Saint-Denis de La Reunion
Departure from Johannesburg at 14h45 – arrival in Saint-Denis de La Reunion at 20h35

Saint-Denis de La Reunion / Johannesburg
Departure from Saint-Denis de La Reunion at 10h40 – arrival in Johannesburg at 12h55

3rd flight as from 9 December 2016

Jean Marc Grazzini, Commercial Vice President for Air Austral said: ‘Air Austral is happy to offer its passengers the opportunity of a third weekly frequency between Johannesburg and Reunion Island. South Africa is a historical destination at the heart of the company’s Indian Ocean network. The launch of this new frequency shows our strong commitment to further enhance our presence in this area and introduce new holiday options for South Africans‘.

Travelers now have the chance to spend more time in the St. Denis area with the new arrival time. From intimate museums to Creole delicacies and fantastic street art, the capital city of the French overseas department of Reunion packs a punch. The new schedule also allows for different lengths of stay to ensure that visitors to Reunion really do make the most of their trip – taking in the natural beauty, enjoying the local cuisine, have a little time out at one of the spas or participate in one of the many adventure activities on offer. Why not visit St Paul’s market, one of the island’s most beautiful markets (Saturdays only).
