Cheap Flights from Johannesburg to Luanda — $303

Johannesburg is served primarily by OR Tambo International (JNB), the country’s main international gateway and a major regional hub for full-service carriers such as South African Airways and many global airlines; it can be pricier than smaller airports but usually offers the widest choice of long-haul and connecting flights. Lanseria (HLA) sits northwest of the city as a smaller, budget-friendly option commonly used by low-cost and regional operators. OR Tambo is about 22–25 km from central Johannesburg with Gautrain trains to Sandton and Rosebank taking roughly 20–25 minutes (fares typically moderate), plus metered taxis or ride-shares in 30–45 minutes depending on traffic; shuttle buses and car hire are also widespread. Lanseria lies around 40–50 km from downtown and can be reached in 45–60 minutes by shuttle or taxi, often at lower fares but with fewer public-transport links. Pros: OR Tambo provides extensive amenities, frequent international connections and rapid rail access; Lanseria can mean shorter security lines and lower fares for domestic or regional trips. Cons: OR Tambo can be busy and subject to heavy traffic on road transfers, while Lanseria offers fewer scheduled services and limited onward public transport.

Luanda’s main airport, Quatro de Fevereiro (SDD), functions as Angola’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for TAAG Angola Airlines, with a mix of international and domestic carriers operating there. It’s located just east of the city center, typically a 20–40 minute drive depending on traffic. Transport options include metered taxis and ride-hailing services (fares can vary substantially), airport shuttles and private transfers; public bus service is limited. The airport tends to be pricier and more formal than smaller domestic fields, and can offer reasonable connectivity and services, but travelers should expect variable wait times and occasional congestion during peak hours.
