King Shaka International Airport (DUR) serves Durban as the primary international gateway and a regional hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers; you'll typically see airlines offering domestic links to Johannesburg and Cape Town plus regional flights to East Africa and Indian Ocean islands. Located about 35 km north of the city center, transfer times can range from 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic; taxis and rideshares are common, while airport shuttles and limited public bus services can be cheaper options (expect lower-cost buses and shared shuttles to start from modest fares). The airport is generally modern and compact, making transfers straightforward, though the distance from central Durban can add cost and time compared with inner-city airports.

Johannesburg is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. O.R. Tambo International (JNB) is the country’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as several regional airlines; fares here can be mid-to-premium compared with smaller airports. It sits about 22 km east of central Johannesburg, and travelers typically reach the city by Gautrain (around 15–25 minutes to Sandton for a moderate fare), airport shuttle or taxi (30–50 minutes depending on traffic, fares varying by service). Lanseria (HLA) to the northwest is often used by low-cost and regional operators and can be cheaper on budget routes; it’s roughly 40–50 km from the CBD, usually a 45–70 minute drive. O.R. Tambo offers more connectivity and amenities, while Lanseria can mean simpler check-ins and lighter crowds but fewer public transport options.
