South Africans, and potentially anyone else not booking from Canada or US, please be careful. All currency exchange fees and other charges are not disclosed when booking the flight. I used skyscanner to search for a local flight, selected the flightnetwork price as it was the cheapest, and finalised booking. When adding my card, and requesting final payment it gave me a Visa card fee associated with the transaction. One does not normally pay a Visa or mastercard fee when your card is debited for payments. I went along with this, but this card fee was 12% of the total booking cost which is a fair amount. I should have gone back and checked immediately why this was being charged, essentially I paid more for the flight with this fee, so in the end flightnetwork was not the cheapest option presented. Then lo behold, about 3 days later, I see an international fee cost on my bank statement, and upon researching realised this was a Canadian company and not a local provider. Only select local and compare the prices. Flightnetwork did not disclose the currency conversion cost that you will pay, this automatically debits off your bank account a few days later so they do not include this in the flight cost. All in all, it ended up with flightnetwork being the more expesive option to book.
