Johannesburg is served mainly by O.R. Tambo International (JNB), the country’s busiest international hub, and the smaller domestic/low-cost focus Lanseria (HLA) to the northwest. O.R. Tambo is typically used by full-service carriers and many international airlines, with ticket prices often viewed as mid-to-premium for long-haul travel; it’s about 20–25 km from the city centre, reachable by Gautrain (around 20–25 minutes to Sandton, 40–45 minutes to Johannesburg Park Station) or taxis and ride-shares (30–60 minutes depending on traffic), with fares varying by service. Lanseria tends to host regional and low-cost carriers and can be cheaper on domestic routes; it sits roughly 40–50 km from central Johannesburg and is mainly accessed by shuttle transfers, rental cars or taxis (travel time commonly 40–70 minutes). Pros: O.R. Tambo offers extensive international connections and frequent rail links; Lanseria can be quicker for some low-cost flights and less crowded. Cons: O.R. Tambo can be busy and affected by peak-time traffic, while Lanseria has fewer onward public transport options.
