Johannesburg is served primarily by O.R. Tambo International (JNB) — the country’s main international hub handling most long-haul and regional carriers, plus numerous full-service and low-cost airlines — and by Lanseria (HLA), a smaller airport that typically caters to domestic and budget operators. O.R. Tambo sits about 22 km northeast of the city center; Gautrain rail links to Sandton and central Johannesburg in roughly 20–25 minutes with fares usually in the mid-range for city airport express services, while taxis and ride-hailing can take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Lanseria is closer to the northwest suburbs (around 35–40 km from downtown), often cheaper to reach by shuttle or car and sometimes quicker outside peak hours. Pros: broad international connections and frequent services at O.R. Tambo; Lanseria can offer lower fares and shorter check-in times. Cons: both airports can be impacted by congested roads, and O.R. Tambo can feel busy during peak periods.
