 On the plane on the way to
Jo'burg by sue_stone
The airport in Johannesburg is called O.R. Tambo International, and it is located 25km north-east of the city centre. We were impressed with the short queues that we encountered upon arrival, and also when we departed. There was a good range of decent quality shops at the airport and a few different dining options.
Once you have collected your luggage, be aware that there are plenty of 'friendly' locals wanting to help you and offer directions - they are not just doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, they want to be paid a little too...
When we arrived in Jo'burg we picked up a hire car at the airport. If you are not driving, or being collected by your hotel shuttle, you can catch a taxi, or brave one of the public shuttle bus options. There are airport-approved operators - follow the taxi and shuttle icons to the terminus, which is opposite International Arrivals (Terminal A). Leave a Comment

This is South Africa's main international airport with the most traffic at any given time.
Located 24 kilometres north east of the city, Johannesburg International Airport (JIB/JNB) is the air transport and tourism gateway of Southern Africa, with 53 airlines carrying over 11 million passengers annually.
The airport has 6 terminals serving both domestic and international air traffic, with excellent parking (long and short term) facilities.
After Dubai airport, this is my favourite airport... modern, bright and efficient.
It's an excellent example of architecture and a country that is on the up! :)
Update October 2006: THis aiport is now called Oliver Thambo International, as part of South Africa's promotion of the New South Africa, in remembering how Oliver Thambo helped bring freedom to the oppressed majority in the landl Leave a Comment

 Far apron where jets park by dejavu2gb
Many airlines serve Johannesburg as part of their route, and you can fly direct to many cities in Europe, South America, North America, Australia, Middle East and Asia.
All the big car rental firms are also present at the airport, so you will not be stuck for a ride. Leave a Comment

Well if you look for a budget airline then this is one of 2 airlines to choose from when flying domestic flights in South Africa.
The only thing about Kulula.Com is that they don`t server any food on the plane.... who needs to eat when the flights is between 1 and 2 hours maximum. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneWebsite: https://www.kulula.com Other Contact: info@kulula.com

If your destination is Pretoria and you arrive at Jo’burg international, you have a problem. Rental cars can be a difficult - expensive and unreliable if you arrive late at night - lots of fraud so agencies are suspicious. Public transport is non existent. Best bet is a prior taxi booking through your hotel or guest house.
Alternatively I used the following service and found it acceptable - the cost was ZAR180 in February 2006

If you are flying from Johannesburg airport, then weigh your luggage before you leave home. Most long haul operators charge for excess weight, even a couple of kilos, and they wiegh the cabin luggage as well! The charge is about 1% of the first class airfare, and you're soon over 100 euros.
