An onward flight reservation from Cape Town
If Cape Town is the starting point of your next flight, select your destination and intended departure date above. Your reservation should match the journey you plan to present.
If you need to show that you will leave a country or territory, check that the itinerary actually crosses the relevant border. A domestic connection alone does not demonstrate departure from that country or territory.
Need a return flight reservation involving Cape Town?
A return flight takes you back to an earlier departure point. An onward flight continues your journey to another destination.
Select “Departing from Cape Town” if your return flight leaves CPT. Select “Flying to Cape Town” if you are returning to CPT. Then choose the other airport in the calculator.
Check what document your journey requires
Requirements depend on your itinerary, travel documents and the authorities or airline handling your journey. A temporary reservation and an issued ticket are different documents.
If an issued and paid ticket is required, a temporary reservation does not replace it. Consult the relevant official guidance and your airline before ordering.
FAQ
Can I choose Cape Town as my departure or arrival airport?
Yes. Use the selector above the calculator to place CPT in the departure or arrival field. You can edit the other airport before continuing.
Does selecting CPT guarantee that a reservation is available?
No. Recognising an airport code does not guarantee availability for a particular route or date. Availability must be confirmed through the reservation process.
Is an onward reservation the same as a return reservation?
They describe different travel directions. An onward journey continues to another destination; a return journey goes back to an earlier departure point. The document you need depends on your situation.
Can I board a flight with an ExitPass reservation?
A temporary reservation is not an issued e-ticket and does not entitle you to board a flight.
Does everyone travelling through Cape Town need an onward ticket?
This page does not establish a universal requirement. Check the rules that apply to your itinerary, nationality and travel documents.
