Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Johannesburg is served primarily by O.R. Tambo International (JNB), the country’s main international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights with full-service carriers and several international airlines, and by Lanseria (HLA), a smaller airport often used by low-cost and regional operators. JNB sits about 22 km northeast of the city centre and is usually reachable by Gautrain plus shuttle or taxi in roughly 25–40 minutes; public buses and metered taxis are alternatives with fares and travel times that can vary widely. Lanseria lies northwest and can be 40–60 minutes from central Johannesburg, typically cheaper to reach by car or shuttle. O.R. Tambo tends to offer broader connectivity and more amenities, while Lanseria can be quicker and less crowded for budget-focused travellers but with fewer facilities and transfer options.
Mumbai is served mainly by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), a large international hub handling long-haul carriers, full-service Indian airlines and many global connections; it's typically viewed as the city’s premium airport. The airport lies about 8–12 km from downtown South Mumbai, with road transfers usually taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis, app-based cabs and prepaid airport taxis are common, while the local suburban railway and metro extensions can be quicker during peak times for modest fares. Pros: extensive international links and decent passenger facilities; cons: heavy traffic and occasional congestion at terminals can make transfers slow. For smaller regional flights, nearby Navi Mumbai’s upcoming terminals may be an option as capacity grows.
