One of the most common airlines operating flights to Durban from Johannesburg is FlySafair, a low-cost airline offering sustainable travel and eco-friendly flights between the destinations.

FlySafair works closely with the Cape Town-based staff to find ways to assist them and the communities in the country. Customers are encouraged to travel with their own water to make a contribution to the water shortage. One of the ways the airline can be assisted is to carry five litres of water over and above the carry-on luggage restrictions and the water will be stowed beneath the seat in front of you. The airline asks that you opt for sealed water bottles as this is better for security purposes.
How can I fly more sustainably from Johannesburg to Durban?
There are several ways to ensure that the way you travel is more sustainable. One of the ways to do this is to choose direct flights to Durban from Johannesburg. Connecting flights require that you travel a further distance and therefore results in more carbon emissions. Your choice of seat also plays a part in being more sustainable. Business and First Class seats take up more space than an Economy Class seat, which are, therefore, more polluting, relatively speaking. Another way to be more eco-friendly is to pack lighter. The less strain put on the aircraft means less energy used for the flight, which lowers carbon emissions and makes for a more sustainable trip.
