Johannesburg is primarily served by O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), the country’s main international hub located about 22 km east of the city centre in Kempton Park. It typically handles most long-haul and regional carriers, including full-service and several low-cost airlines, and can be perceived as mid-range to premium for international connections. Travel into central Johannesburg usually takes 30–45 minutes by Gautrain (fast rail) or 30–60 minutes by road depending on traffic; Gautrain fares often fall in a moderate range while taxis and ride-shares can be more variable. Pros: comprehensive facilities, frequent flights, good rail link; cons: busy terminals and traffic can add delays.
Addis Ababa Bole International (ADD) is Ethiopia’s main international gateway and regional hub, frequently serving flag carrier Ethiopian Airlines alongside a mix of full-service and some low-cost regional carriers. Flights through Bole can be competitively priced for long-haul and Africa-bound connections, though fares vary by season and demand. The airport sits about 6–8 km southeast of central Addis Ababa; taxi rides typically take 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly $5–15, while shared minibuses and hotel shuttles offer cheaper options that may take longer. Modern terminal facilities and extensive route choices are convenient for transfers, but peak-hour congestion and security queues can make the experience slower than at smaller domestic airports.
