Johannesburg is served mainly by O.R. Tambo International (JNB) and Lanseria (HLA). O.R. Tambo is the country’s principal international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic alongside several regional airlines; fares here can be mid-to-premium compared with smaller airports. Located about 25–30 km northeast of the city centre, travel times range from roughly 25–45 minutes by Gautrain or 30–60+ minutes by taxi/car depending on traffic; Gautrain plus a shuttle is a popular option with fares usually in the moderate range. Pros: extensive facilities, many onward connections and frequent flights. Cons: can be busy and subject to peak-hour congestion. Lanseria (HLA) functions more as a secondary airport serving low-cost and regional carriers, often positioned as a budget-friendly alternative for domestic and some regional services. It sits roughly 45–50 km northwest of central Johannesburg, making transfers typically 40–70 minutes by taxi or private transfer depending on traffic; some shuttle services are available at modest rates. Pros: shorter queues and a quieter terminal experience for low-cost flights. Cons: fewer international connections and less public transport infrastructure compared with O.R. Tambo.

Maseru is served primarily by Moshoeshoe I International Airport (MSU), which functions as Lesotho’s main international gateway and a modest regional hub. The airport typically handles scheduled flights from regional carriers and some charter traffic, with a mix of full-service and low-cost operators on select routes. It sits about 18 km (roughly 30–40 minutes by road, depending on traffic) southeast of Maseru city centre. Ground links usually include taxis and pre-arranged transfers, with ride fares that can vary widely; some shuttle or private transfer options may be available through hotels. Pros: straightforward layout and relatively short transfer times into town. Cons: limited dining and shopping options, and fewer daily flights compared with larger regional hubs, which can affect flexibility and fares.
