Johannesburg is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. O.R. Tambo International (JNB) is the country’s main international hub, typically hosting legacy carriers and many long-haul flights; it’s about 22 km east of the CBD and reachable by Gautrain (≈20–25 minutes, moderate fare) or taxis/rideshares (30–45 minutes, fares vary). Lanseria (HLA) is a smaller, often budget- and regional-focused option northwest of the city, usually used by low-cost carriers and private flights; expect longer road times (45–60+ minutes) depending on traffic. O.R. Tambo can be more convenient for international connections and services, while Lanseria can be quieter and cheaper but less well connected to public transit.
The minimum one-way ticket price from Johannesburg to Bulawayo is $129 (March 2026), while the maximum is $153 (February 2026). On average, a ticket costs $144–$302.

Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport (BUQ) serves Bulawayo as the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub for Zimbabwe’s southern flights. It typically handles a mix of scheduled domestic services and occasional regional international connections, with airlines skewing toward national carriers and low-frequency private operators rather than major global alliances. The airport sits about 10–15 km southeast of the city center; road transfers usually take around 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Taxis and ride-hailing can be found with fares broadly in the moderate range, while private airport shuttles and car hire offer alternatives for groups. Pros: relatively compact, easy to navigate and close to town. Cons: limited shopping and lounge amenities and fewer direct international routes compared with larger hubs.
Fly nonstop from Johannesburg to Bulawayo for the quickest, most comfortable way to reach Zimbabwe’s cultural hub—no layovers, less hassle, and more time to enjoy your trip.
