The airport sits about 20–25 km southeast of the city center; drive times are usually 25–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares commonly falling into an affordable local range. There are also airport shuttle buses and private transfers, which can take a bit longer but cost less.

Johannesburg is served mainly by O.R. Tambo International (JNB) as the city’s international hub and Lanseria (HLA) as a smaller, often lower-cost alternative. O.R.
