Cape Town International Airport serves as South Africa’s main gateway to the Western Cape and functions as an international hub for both full-service and some low-cost carriers. You’ll typically find airlines like South African Airways, British Airways, and budget operators such as FlySafair and Mango. The airport lies about 20–25 km from the city centre; transfer options include the MyCiTi bus (roughly 30–50 minutes, low fare), regular metered taxis or e-hailing services (25–45 minutes, fares vary), and private shuttles. Pros: straightforward layout, decent range of onward connections and car-rental options. Cons: can be busy during peak season and transfer times may extend with traffic or queues at security and immigration.
Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC), each playing distinct roles. DXB is the city’s main international hub — a busy, full-service airport dominated by major carriers including Emirates and many global airlines — and typically tends to be pricier than budget-focused alternatives. It sits about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, reachable by metro (roughly 15–25 minutes, fares usually modest), taxis (20–40 minutes, higher fare), and airport buses. Pros: extensive amenities, frequent long-haul connections and reliable public transport; cons: can be crowded and walking between terminals can take time. DWC, located around 40–60 km from central Dubai, is positioned as a growing secondary hub with a stronger tilt toward low-cost and cargo operators. Travel to the city is commonly by taxi (40–60+ minutes, mid-to-higher fare) or occasional shuttle services; public transport options are more limited than at DXB. Pros: generally less crowded and often lower fares; cons: longer transfer times and fewer frequent services.
