Johannesburg is served mainly by O.R. Tambo International (JNB), the country’s principal international hub that typically handles long-haul and full-service carriers, and by Lanseria (HLA), a smaller airport often used by low-cost and regional airlines. O.R. Tambo sits about 22–25 km east of the city centre, with Gautrain rapid rail and taxis taking roughly 20–35 minutes (Gautrain fares usually fall in a mid-range band; taxis/ride-shares vary higher). Lanseria lies northwest, about 35–50 km away; travel times can be 40–60 minutes by road depending on traffic, with shuttle services and car hires common. O.R. Tambo can be more convenient for international connections and amenities but may feel busier; Lanseria can be cheaper and quicker for domestic point-to-point travel, though has fewer facilities and fewer scheduled long-haul options.
