Time is ticking away and the World Cup 2010 is approaching…very fast. If you are a football fan then you probably are already trying to figure out a way to get to South Africa without breaking a bank.
The World Cup travel deals from Australia are a good way to get you started and plan the vacation of your lifetime.
The first thing to consider is, of course, the flight. You’ll be spending a lot of time on the plane and spend quite a lot of money on airfare as well. So you should know which airline offers great deals into South Africa. V Australia flies from Sydney and Melbourne into Johannesburg so checking the V Australia flight deals often is a good way to keep an eye on their sales and grab a cheap ticket.
To watch Australia matches in the group you need to be in Durban (on June 13), Rustenburg (on June 19) and Nelspruit (on June 23). You can choose to fly between cities or into the closest large city and then drive or ride a bus. Regardless of your choice, plan ahead especially if you need to book flights.
The next step is to make sure you’ve got a place to stay once you get to South Africa. Hotels book up quickly during such events so plan ahead. Pack your camping gear as well if you don’t mind opting for such a choice. Plus you can plan a day trip or two in between the matches. And of course, don’t forget to pack your Australia World Cup jersey .
However you plan to celebrate the victories, please remember that bad things only happen when you are not aware of your surroundings. So don’t get drunk and use your intuition when it comes to making friends with locals or fellow travelers.
