King Shaka International (DUR) is Durban’s main international gateway and typically serves both full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines, positioning it as the region’s primary hub for arrivals and departures. The airport sits about 35–40 km north of the city centre, with travel times usually around 35–50 minutes by car depending on traffic; metered taxis and app-based rideshares are common, and shuttle services or private transfers can be more economical for groups. Public bus and limited rail connections exist but can be slower and less frequent. Pros include a modern terminal and a wide range of flight options; cons can be the distance from central Durban and peak-hour congestion on the access roads.
Port Elizabeth Airport (PLZ), commonly serving the Nelson Mandela Bay area, typically functions as a regional gateway rather than a major international hub. It usually handles domestic flights operated by full-service and low-cost carriers, with occasional regional connections to neighboring countries. The airport lies about 10–15 km from Port Elizabeth city centre; road transfers commonly take 15–25 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, with fares often in a modest range, while shuttle and rental-car options provide flexible alternatives for groups or longer stays. Pros include compact terminals and short walking distances between check-in and gates, while cons can be limited late-night services and fewer direct long-haul choices compared with larger South African airports.
