Flying From Manchester To Cape Town – Time Taken

Posted on February 20, 2010 @ 6:17 pm

Flight time from Manchester to Cape Town varies per flight. By this I mean there is no one fixed time I can simply mention but I have to assess different flights. Secondly time can be defined in two ways, that is, the time spent on air from Manchester to Cape Town and the overall time for the journey including stops or transfer time.

So now that I have provided the background let me provide the different times by the top Airlines.

The British Airways offers the shortest time to Cape Town from Manchester. The time that is spent on air travel is 12 hours and 35 minutes. Transfer time is one hour 30 minutes overall (1h30m), which makes the total journey to be fourteen hours and five minutes (14h05m).

The South African Airways takes fourteen hours and ten minutes, which is almost similar to the British Airways. Time spend on air is twelve hours and fifty five minutes (12h55) and transfer time is one hour fifteen minutes (1h15).

Virging Atlantic offers the nest shortest possible flight. This flight has one stop from Manchester i.e. at London Heathway and from there it flies straight to Cape Town. The time spent on air is thirteen hours (13h0m). The transfer time is two hours and 40 minutes (2h40m), which makes the overall journey to be fifteen hours and forty minutes (15h40).

Lufthansa Airlines takes about sixteen hours overall, Emirates nearly 20 hours overall flight time, Manchester to Cape Town and Air France about eighteen hours.
