Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) serves as Bangkok’s main international hub and typically handles long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many regional flights. Located about 30–35 km east of the city center, it can be reached by the Airport Rail Link (around 25–35 minutes to central stations), taxis (30–60 minutes depending on traffic) and airport buses; fares range from low-cost rail tickets to metered taxi fares plus tolls. The terminal is usually modern and well-equipped, with plenty of lounges and shopping, but transfer times can be longer and peak-hour road journeys less predictable. Suvarnabhumi is a good choice for international connections and full-service amenities. Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) is Bangkok’s older airport and commonly positioned as the budget and short-haul gateway, used mainly by low-cost carriers and regional services. It lies roughly 20–25 km north of central Bangkok and is typically reachable by local buses, shuttle services, commuter rail links and taxis; travel times are usually 25–50 minutes and fares are generally lower than longer rail options. Facilities are more basic than the main hub but often quicker to navigate, making Don Mueang a practical choice for budget travelers or domestic transfers — though it can be busier during peak low-cost carrier schedules.

Johannesburg is served primarily by OR Tambo International (JNB), the country’s main international hub handling most long-haul and regional carriers, and by smaller Lanseria (HLA), which tends to host low-cost and some regional operators. OR Tambo sits about 22 km east of central Johannesburg and is usually well-connected by Gautrain rapid rail (around 20–25 minutes to Sandton for fares typically in the mid-range), airport shuttles, metered taxis or app-based rides (travel times 30–60 minutes depending on traffic). Lanseria lies northwest, roughly 40 km from the city center, with shuttle buses and taxis taking around 40–70 minutes. OR Tambo can be more convenient for international connections and airline choice, while Lanseria may offer lower fares and quicker check-in for some budget flights; heavier traffic and varying transfer times are common considerations for both.

The cost of a one-way flight from Bangkok to Johannesburg ranges from $344 (February 2026) to $442 (August 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $395–$808.
