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.
British Airways has the shoterst travel time from Manchester to Cape Town. That is, the time spent on air is twelve hours and thirty five minutes (12h35m). 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 journey is slightly longer than the British Airways one by about 05 minutes giving it a total of 14 hours and 10 minutes. Of this time 12 hours and 55 minutes constitutes time in the air and 1 hour and 15 minutes is time in between flights.
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. Time for air travel on this flight is 13 hours. The time to change between the two flights is 2 hours and 40 minutes, making the total journey to be 15 hours and 40 minutes.
Lufthansa Airlines takes about sixteen hours overall, Emirates nearly 20 hours overall flight time, Manchester to Cape Town and Air France about eighteen hours.
