Cape Town International Airport serves as South Africa’s primary gateway to the Western Cape, functioning as a full-service international hub that also handles regional and domestic traffic. It typically hosts major carriers like South African Airways, British Airways and a range of low-cost operators for domestic hops. The airport sits about 20–25 km from the city centre; depending on traffic you can expect journeys of roughly 20–40 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, often costing in the mid-range compared with local incomes, while the MyCiTi bus offers a cheaper transfer option in around 30–45 minutes. Pros include a modern terminal with solid international connections and car hire options; cons can be peak-hour congestion and occasional queues at security or immigration.

Fly direct from Cape Town to Maputo for the fastest, most convenient way to reach Mozambique’s vibrant capital—no layovers, less hassle and more time to explore.

Maputo International Airport (MPM) serves as Mozambique’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of regional and some long-haul services, often used by carriers such as LAM, South African airlines and a handful of international operators. It can feel more like a modest hub than a large global airport, with prices that are usually competitive for regional routes. The airport is about 3–6 km northwest of central Maputo; taxis and ride-hailing are the fastest options (roughly 10–20 minutes, fares normally varying with traffic), while local minibuses are cheaper but slower. Pros: compact layout and short transfer times; cons: limited lounge and shopping options compared with major airports, and peak-hour congestion can affect comfort.
