Johannesburg is served primarily by O.R. Tambo International (JNB), the country’s main international hub handling most long-haul and regional carriers, and by Lanseria (HLA), a smaller airport that can be more budget- and leisure-oriented. O.R. Tambo is about 22–25 km east of the city centre, with Gautrain rapid rail reaching Sandton in roughly 25 minutes (fares typically sit in a mid-range band) and taxis or ride-hailing taking 30–50 minutes depending on traffic. Lanseria lies northwest around 40 km out; drive times are usually 40–60 minutes and transfers/vans are common. Pros: JNB offers extensive connections and amenities; Lanseria can be quicker for low-cost or regional flights. Cons: peak traffic can make road transfers slow, and services at the smaller airport are more limited.

Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) is Windhoek’s main international gateway, typically handling long-haul flights and serving as Namibia’s principal hub for carriers such as Air Namibia (when operating), South African Airways and various regional and international airlines. It sits about 45–50 km east of the city center; travel time by car is usually around 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with airport shuttles, private transfers and taxis commonly available — fares can vary and are often mid-range compared with smaller regional airports. The facility can be more relaxed than larger global hubs, offering basic amenities and straightforward arrivals, though distances and limited public transit options may be less convenient for budget travelers. For shorter domestic hops, Windhoek’s smaller domestic terminal handles regional services and low-cost operators, often with quicker check-ins but fewer passenger facilities.
