Johannesburg is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. O.R. Tambo International (JNB) is the country’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers like South African Airways and major global airlines; it typically handles most long-haul and business traffic and can be pricier for premium services. Lanseria (HLA) sits northwest of the city and is often used by low-cost and regional operators, making it a common choice for budget-conscious travelers. O.R. Tambo is about 22–25 km from central Johannesburg, with Gautrain rapid rail (around 20–25 minutes to Sandton, then a taxi or transfer to the CBD), airport shuttles and metered taxis; fares for shuttles and taxis vary widely depending on route and service level. Lanseria is roughly 35–45 km from the center, reachable by private transfer, shuttle buses or car hire in about 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: O.R. Tambo offers comprehensive facilities and frequent international connections; Lanseria can be quicker for domestic or low-cost flights and often has shorter queues. Cons: O.R. Tambo can be busy at peak times and some onward connections may add time; Lanseria has fewer airline choices and limited public-transport options.

Harare International Airport (often called Robert Gabriel Mugabe International until renamed) functions as Zimbabwe’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional services. Airlines are usually a mix of national carriers, African regional operators and some seasonal or charter flights, with fares perceived as mid-range for the region. The airport sits about 15–20 km southeast of Harare’s city centre; road transfers by taxi or ride-hailing commonly take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and can be relatively inexpensive compared with international norms, while hotel shuttles and private transfers are also widely available. Pros: straightforward layout and reasonable onward connections; cons: immigration queues can be slow at peak times and on-site amenities are simpler than larger international hubs.
