King Shaka International Airport (DUR) is Durban’s main international gateway and a regional hub handling most long-haul and domestic flights, with carriers ranging from national airlines to budget and regional operators. It sits about 35 km north of the city centre, and transfers typically take 30–45 minutes by taxi or private transfer, or around 45–60 minutes by the frequent shuttle and bus services; fares can vary from roughly ZAR 150–400 for bus/shuttle and ZAR 300–600+ for taxis depending on traffic. The airport is generally modern and comfortable with a decent mix of shops and lounges, though the distance from downtown can add time and transport cost. Good ground links make it convenient for travellers, but those wanting closer access to the CBD should allow extra travel time.
Cape Town International usually functions as the region’s main international gateway and a full-service hub, handling long-haul carriers alongside domestic airlines such as South African Airways, British Airways and several low-cost operators. It sits about 20–25 km from the city center; travel time is typically 20–35 minutes by car depending on traffic, and airport shuttle or metered taxi trips can be a moderate fare, while MyCiTi public buses offer cheaper options in 30–45 minutes. The terminal mix makes the airport relatively well-equipped with lounges and retail, though peak periods can feel busy and transfers may take time; it’s a convenient choice for most visitors but can be pricier than smaller regional airports for some routes.
