How the HAIBO weekend offer works

The HAIBO code takes 10% off your flight booking value, with the discount capped at R250 per booking. In practice that means the full 10% applies up to a booking value of R2,500; above that the saving stays at the R250 maximum. The table and chart below show exactly what you save at different booking values.

The code applies to international flight routes from South Africa, can be used as many times as you like, and is valid on bookings made until 31 October 2026 for travel until 31 December 2026.

When to book weekend flight deals

Weekend sale fares move with demand, so a little flexibility goes a long way. Midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) are often cheaper than weekend ones, and travelling in the shoulder seasons — rather than over school holidays or festive dates — usually brings the best value. Because the fares shown are lead-in prices that change with availability, it pays to search and book while the deal is live, and to apply the HAIBO code before you pay.

Disclaimer: Fares and offers shown are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change. Prices are per person in South African rand (ZAR), include taxes and fees, and are subject to availability. Visa requirements, entry rules and airline conditions depend on the route and your nationality and remain the traveller's responsibility. Please confirm the current fare, inclusions and offer terms with Travelwings before booking.
