Kigali International Airport (KGL) functions as Rwanda’s main international gateway and a regional hub for airlines such as RwandAir alongside some international carriers; it can be seen as a compact, modern facility rather than a sprawling megahub. The airport sits about 10–13 km northeast of Kigali’s city centre, with travel times typically around 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. Options include taxis and ride-hail services (fares usually moderate), airport shuttles and hotel transfers, or private cars; some shared minibuses may be available. Pros: relatively quick transfers, newer terminals and straightforward layout. Cons: fewer low-cost carrier choices and limited late-night public transport links compared with bigger hubs.

Johannesburg is primarily served by two airports with distinct roles. O.R. Tambo International (JNB) is the country’s main international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as some regional airlines; it’s about 22 km east of central Johannesburg, reachable by Gautrain (around 20–25 minutes, fares usually in a moderate range) or taxi/rideshare (30–45 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary). Lanseria (HLA) functions more as a secondary, budget- and regional-focused option for low-cost carriers and private flights, roughly 40 km northwest of the city with shuttle and taxi services taking about 45–60 minutes. O.R. Tambo offers more flight options and airport amenities but can be busier and pricier for transfers; Lanseria can be cheaper and quicker for some travelers but has fewer connecting services and limited public transit.
