Accepted Answer

The most flights to Durban are scheduled on Monday (around 4 per day), while Wednesday has the fewest (around 2) — roughly 21 flights a week in total. Travelling on a busier day gives you more choice of times and, often, better prices. If you can, avoid the quietest days when seats are more limited.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

On average, a flight from London to Durban takes around 25h 27m, covering roughly 5,936 miles. Total travel time depends on whether you fly direct or connect, and which UK airport you leave from. Direct services are the fastest, while connecting flights add the length of the layover.

Question 9

What time do flights to Durban depart?

Accepted Answer

Flights to Durban depart London from as early as 6:55 AM (arriving 1:15 PM) right through to a latest departure of 10:40 PM (arriving 1:45 PM). That spread lets you choose an early start to make the most of your first day, or a later flight if you'd rather not rush. Exact departure times vary by airline and day, so check the schedule for your specific dates.

Question 10

What is the rainfall in Durban by month?

Accepted Answer

January is typically the wettest month in Durban, with around 203 mm of rain, while June is the driest at roughly 12 mm.
