Johannesburg is served mainly by O.R. Tambo International (JNB), the country's primary international hub that typically handles most long-haul and regional carriers, and by Lanseria (HLA), a smaller airport often used by low-cost and regional operators. O.R. Tambo sits about 22 km east of the city centre and can usually be reached by Gautrain (about 20–30 minutes, higher fares), metered taxi or ride-hail (30–60 minutes depending on traffic, mid-range cost), and shuttle services; expect variable prices. Lanseria is roughly 40 km northwest and commonly requires a taxi or transfer (40–70 minutes, usually cheaper per trip but fuel/toll costs apply). Pros: O.R. Tambo offers extensive connections and amenities; cons: it can be busy and subject to peak-hour congestion. Lanseria can be more relaxed and budget-friendly but has fewer international links and limited public transport.
Bloemfontein’s Bram Fischer International (BFN) serves as the region’s main gateway, handling a mix of domestic flights and limited regional connections rather than long-haul international services. It’s commonly used by full-service and low-cost South African carriers, so fares can be competitive on short routes. The airport sits about 15–20 km south of Bloemfontein city centre; taxi or rideshare trips typically take 15–25 minutes while shuttle and car-hire options can be slightly quicker depending on traffic. Public minibus taxis serve nearby routes for lower cost, though schedules may be less predictable. Advantages include compact terminals and short transfer times, while options for long-haul connections and extensive ground transport are relatively limited.
