Cheap Flights from Yerevan to Johannesburg — $505

Zvartnots International (EVN) is Yerevan’s main international gateway and typically handles both full-service carriers and many regional or low-cost flights. Located about 10–12 km west of the city center, transfer times to central Yerevan are usually 15–30 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares commonly in a modest local range; shared minibuses and hotel shuttles are also options but can be slower. As the primary hub for international connections, the airport can be more convenient for onward flights and baggage services, while smaller terminals and occasional queues mean it may feel less plush than larger global hubs. Overall it’s the most practical choice for most travelers to Armenia’s capital.

Johannesburg is served mainly by OR Tambo International (JNB), the country’s primary international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights, and Lanseria (HLA), a smaller airport often used by low-cost carriers and some regional routes. OR Tambo typically hosts full-service airlines and alliance connections, while Lanseria can be a cheaper option for domestic or budget travelers. OR Tambo lies about 25–30 km east of central Johannesburg with Gautrain trains (around 18–25 minutes to Sandton then onward by bus/taxi), airport shuttles and metered taxis; fares vary by service and route. Lanseria is roughly 40–50 km northwest, reachable by shuttle or private transfer in 45–70 minutes. Pros: OR Tambo offers extensive facilities and international connections; Lanseria can be quicker for certain low-cost routes and has lighter crowds. Cons: OR Tambo can be busy and involve longer queues, while Lanseria has fewer amenities and less frequent public transport links.
