O.R. Tambo International (JNB) is Johannesburg’s primary international gateway and the country’s busiest airport, typically serving long-haul carriers and major African and global airlines alongside full-service domestic operators. Located about 22 km east of the city centre, it can be reached by Gautrain express in roughly 20–25 minutes (fare usually moderate) or by taxi and shuttle services in 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with ride fares varying widely. The airport tends to offer comprehensive facilities — lounges, shops and car rental — making it convenient for transfers and international connections, though peak-hour congestion and security queues can reduce comfort. Lanseria International (HLA) operates primarily as a secondary, more budget-friendly airport for Johannesburg, typically attracting low-cost carriers and regional operators. Positioned approximately 40 km northwest of central Johannesburg, travel times to the city are around 35–60 minutes by taxi or shuttle, with transfers often being cheaper than from the main hub but sometimes less frequent. Lanseria can be a quicker, less crowded option for domestic and regional flights, though it has fewer amenities and limited public transport connections compared with O.R. Tambo, so plan transfers in advance for convenience.
