There are most likely no direct flights on the Addis Ababa — Johannesburg route
Addis Ababa Bole International (ADD) serves as Ethiopia’s primary international hub and a major connecting point for African and long-haul carriers, with Ethiopian Airlines dominating schedules alongside several international airlines. It’s typically positioned as a full-service, long-haul gateway rather than a low-cost outpost, so fares can vary widely depending on route and season. The airport lies about 6–8 km southeast of central Addis Ababa; road transfers usually take 20–40 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, often costing the equivalent of a few US dollars, while airport shuttles and private transfers can be slightly pricier. Strengths include modern international facilities and frequent connections; downsides can be crowding at peak times and occasional delays.

Johannesburg is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. O.R. Tambo International (JNB) is the country’s primary international hub and typically handles most long-haul and full-service carriers; it sits about 22 km east of the city center and is usually 30–45 minutes by Gautrain or 40–60 minutes by road depending on traffic, with train fares generally in the low single-digit to low double-digit rand range and taxis/rideshares costing more. Lanseria (HLA) functions as a smaller, budget- and regional-oriented alternative northwest of the city, often favored by low-cost carriers and private flights; travel time can be 30–50 minutes by car. Pros: strong connectivity at JNB and cheaper fares at Lanseria. Cons: JNB can be busy and subject to peak-hour congestion; Lanseria has fewer international options and more limited ground transport.
