Cheap Flights from Tel Aviv-Yafo to Johannesburg Starting at $453

Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is Israel’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s premium hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside many low-cost and regional operators. It sits about 20–22 km southeast of central Tel Aviv, with travel times by train or car usually around 15–30 minutes depending on traffic; the fast rail link from the airport to HaHagana or Savidor Center is often the quickest option, while taxis and app-based rides typically cost more and can take longer during peak hours. Pros: modern facilities, extensive international connections and reliable ground transport. Cons: security queues can be longer and transfers may require extra time for checks.

Johannesburg is served mainly by OR Tambo International (JNB), the country’s largest international hub that typically handles most long-haul and full-service carriers, and by smaller Lanseria (HLA), which can be a budget-leaning alternative for some regional and low-cost operators. OR Tambo sits about 22 km east of the city centre, with Gautrain rail links taking roughly 20–25 minutes to Sandton or central Johannesburg and airport shuttles/taxis ranging from 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; expect rail tickets and shuttle fares to be modest but variable. Lanseria is further northwest and can be 45–60 minutes by car from the CBD, often cheaper for low-cost routes but with fewer public transport choices. Pros: OR Tambo offers extensive amenities and international connections; Lanseria can be quieter and sometimes less expensive. Cons: OR Tambo can be busy and affected by peak traffic, while Lanseria’s limited public transit can mean reliance on cars or transfers.
