Cape Town International Airport is South Africa’s main gateway for the city, serving as a full-service international hub for carriers such as South African Airways, British Airways and various long-haul and regional operators, while low-cost carriers also operate regular domestic and regional flights. Located about 20–25 km from the city centre, journey times by road are typically 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; metered taxis and rideshares are common, and the MyCiTi bus offers a budget option with roughly 30–45 minute transfer times and modest fares. The airport generally balances convenience and range of connections, though peak-period congestion and occasional delays can affect comfort; for tighter budgets, booking with low-cost domestic carriers or using public bus links can reduce ground and air travel costs.

The airport is generally convenient for business and leisure travelers due to its proximity, though peak‑hour congestion can make transfers slower. Pros: broad route network and close to downtown; Cons: traffic delays and variable terminal crowding. Can Tho International (VCA) and nearby domestic fields can be alternatives for some regional connections, but Tan Son Nhat remains the primary entry point for most international arrivals to Ho Chi Minh City.
