Johannesburg is served primarily by O.R. Tambo International (JNB), the country’s main international hub that typically handles long-haul and major regional carriers, and by Lanseria (HLA), a smaller airport often favoured by low-cost and regional operators. O.R. Tambo sits about 22 km east of the city centre and is usually well connected by Gautrain (around 15–20 minutes to central Sandton for moderate fares), metered taxis and airport shuttles (30–45 minutes depending on traffic). Lanseria lies roughly 40 km northwest and can be reached by private car or shuttle in about 35–50 minutes; transfers usually cost less than private taxis. O.R. Tambo can be more convenient for international connections and has extensive facilities, while Lanseria can offer cheaper fares and shorter queues for budget carriers but fewer amenities and limited public-transport options.

Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN) serves Lusaka as the country’s main international gateway and busiest aviation hub, handling most long-haul and regional flights alongside some low-cost carriers. Expect a mix of full-service and budget airlines, with fares that can be higher for direct international routes but often competitive on regional connections. The airport lies about 27 km north of the city centre; road transfers typically take 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis or ride‑hailing services usually costing a modest fare and airport shuttles or private transfers available for higher convenience. Pros: direct international links and straightforward customs; cons: occasional congestion and limited late‑night public transit options.
