Cape Town International (CPT) is the region’s primary international gateway and usually serves full-service carriers alongside several low-cost airlines, so it can be both a hub for long-haul travel and a base for budget connections. The airport lies about 20–25 km from the city centre (roughly 20–40 minutes by car, depending on traffic), with metered taxis, ride-hailing apps and private shuttles commonly used; the MyCiTi bus offers a cheaper express link in around 30–45 minutes for a modest fare. Pros include modern facilities, good onward-flight options and scenic approach views; potential downsides can be congested roads at peak times and variable queueing for immigration or baggage during busy periods.

Bangkok is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s about 30–40 km east of downtown Bangkok and typically takes 30–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public options include the Airport Rail Link to the city center (around 30–45 minutes, moderate fares) and taxis or app-hails (fares vary). Don Mueang (DMK) is the older, budget-friendly airport north of the city that usually hosts low-cost carriers and regional flights; travel time to central Bangkok is often 30–60 minutes by taxi and there are bus connections at lower fares. Pros: Suvarnabhumi offers more international connections and modern facilities, while Don Mueang can be cheaper and quicker for budget routes; cons: both can be affected by heavy traffic and transfers between them may take over an hour.
