Johannesburg is served mainly by O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), the country’s principal international gateway and a major southern African hub, and smaller Lanseria International Airport (HLA), which typically caters to low-cost carriers and regional flights. O.R. Tambo, about 22 km east of the city center, usually handles full-service carriers and several global alliances; Gautrain rapid rail to Sandton or Johannesburg CBD takes roughly 20–30 minutes (fares usually in the mid-range), while taxis and app rides are common and can take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. Lanseria sits northwest, around 35–45 km from central Johannesburg and can be cheaper for budget travellers; transfers generally require shuttle buses or taxis, taking 40–60 minutes. Pros: O.R. Tambo offers extensive international connections and frequent onward transport; Lanseria can be quicker for point-to-point low-cost flights and less crowded. Cons: both can experience congestion at peak times and road travel times vary with traffic.
Doha is served mainly by Hamad International Airport (DOH), a modern international hub that typically handles most long-haul and transfer traffic and is home to Qatar Airways and many global carriers. Located about 20–25 km southeast of the city centre, it can take roughly 20–30 minutes by taxi or 30–45 minutes by metro and bus, with fares usually ranging from modest to mid-range depending on service level. A smaller facility, Doha International (now largely superseded), can occasionally be used for charter or low-cost operations. Pros: efficient transfers, extensive amenities and frequent airline choices; Cons: slightly longer transfers to central Doha than some compact airports and peak-hour queues can occur.
