Port Elizabeth Airport (PLZ) typically functions as the Eastern Cape’s main domestic gateway, serving regional and some seasonal national routes rather than large international hubs. Airlines are usually a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, so fares can be competitive compared with larger South African airports. The terminal sits about 8–10 km north of the city center; road transfer by taxi or rideshare commonly takes 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, with fares generally in the low to mid range for local trips. Car hire and shuttle services are broadly available, while public minibus taxis can be cheaper but less predictable. Pros: compact layout and quick walk times; cons: limited long-haul connectivity and fewer premium lounge options.

Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) serves Dar es Salaam as the main international gateway and busiest airport in Tanzania, handling most long-haul carriers and regional airlines such as Qatar, Ethiopian, Kenya Airways and Air Tanzania. It is typically positioned as a mid-tier international hub rather than a low-cost-only field, so fares can range from budget-friendly regional seats to pricier intercontinental tickets. The airport sits about 12–15 km from the city center; taxis and ride-hailing services usually take 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, often costing a moderate local fare, while airport shuttles and private transfers can be slightly more expensive. Pros: convenient international connections and multiple carrier choices; cons: busy peaks, occasional congestion and basic terminal facilities compared with major global hubs.
