Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Maputo International Airport (MPM) serves as Mozambique’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional flights; it can be seen as the city’s principal hub rather than a budget-only option. You’ll find a mix of carriers from national airline to regional African and occasional international operators, with fares that can vary widely depending on season and routing. The airport lies roughly 4–6 km north of downtown Maputo; taxis are the fastest option (about 15–25 minutes, fares commonly in the modest local range), while airport shuttles and ride-hailing services can be alternatives. Pros include short transfer times to the city and compact terminals for quick navigation; cons may be limited late-night amenities and fewer nonstop long-haul choices compared with larger international hubs.
Johannesburg is primarily served by two airports with distinct roles. O.R. Tambo International (JNB) functions as the main international and regional hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many connecting flights; it sits about 22–25 km east of the city centre and can be reached by Gautrain (≈20–25 min, mid-range fare), taxis or ride-hailing (≈30–45 min depending on traffic, variable cost). Lanseria (HLA) to the northwest is typically a smaller, budget- and charter-friendly airport favored for low-cost carriers and some regional services, roughly 40–50 km away with shuttle or taxi transfers (longer travel time but often cheaper). Pros: JNB offers frequent connections and more amenities; HLA can be quieter and quicker to navigate. Cons: peak-hour road traffic can affect transfer times, and lower-cost flights may arrive at the more distant airport.
