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.
