Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s main international gateway and typically functions as a full-service hub, handling a mix of flag carrier, European network, and some low-cost airlines. Located about 10 km (6 miles) north of Zurich city center, it’s usually reachable by frequent trains in 10–15 minutes or by tram/bus in 25–40 minutes; fares for public transport are generally modest and often integrated into city ticketing. Taxis or ride-hailing can cut transfer time but are noticeably pricier. The airport is known for efficient connections and good passenger amenities, making it convenient for transfers, while downsides can include busy peak-period crowds and higher on-site retail and parking costs.
O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) is Johannesburg’s main international gateway and regional hub, typically serving full-service carriers and major African and long-haul airlines while also handling budget operators. Located about 22 km northeast of the city center, it can be reached in roughly 25–45 minutes by Gautrain (fast rail link to Sandton and central stations) or 30–60 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic; fares for Gautrain plus feeder buses or shuttles can be moderate, while taxis and app-based rides vary with demand. The airport is usually well-equipped with lounges, retail and dining options, and extensive international connections, though peak-hour transfers can be busy and security or immigration queues may add time. Lanseria International Airport (HLA) functions as a secondary, budget-friendly alternative for some domestic and regional flights, typically favored by low-cost carriers and private charters. It sits about 40 km northwest of downtown Johannesburg, with drive times generally around 30–50 minutes by car or shuttle depending on traffic; shared shuttles and private transfers are common, while public transport options are limited. Lanseria can be more convenient for avoiding larger-terminal crowds and quicker check-ins, but it offers fewer facilities and connections than O.R. Tambo and may require additional ground transfer planning for onward travel.
