Johannesburg is served mainly by OR Tambo International (JNB) and the smaller Lanseria (HLA). OR Tambo is the country’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as several regional airlines; it’s usually perceived as the more premium and better-equipped option. The airport sits about 22–25 km east of central Johannesburg, with the Gautrain taking roughly 20–25 minutes to Sandton and 35–45 minutes to Park Station; shuttle taxis and metered cabs are common and can be cheaper for groups. Lanseria is a budget-leaning alternative northwest of the city, typically used by low-cost carriers and some charters, about 40–50 km from the center; transfers often take 45–75 minutes depending on traffic, with private shuttles or car hire popular. Pros: OR Tambo offers more frequent international connections and public rail links; Lanseria can be quicker for certain domestic or low-cost routes and less congested. Cons: OR Tambo can be busy at peak times and travel into the CBD may be affected by road traffic, while Lanseria has fewer amenities and limited public transport options.
