  • How do I make my trip more sustainable?

    Flying is one of the least sustainable ways of traveling and it is upon us to make efforts elsewhere to try and balance the carbon offsets.

Airlines on this route that have made efforts towards improving their sustainability record include Hahn Air Systems which has set up afforestation projects to help offset carbon emissions and South African Airways invested into research to help production of sustainable aviation fuel.

  • How can I access downtown Johannesburg from O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB)?

    There are two main transfer options from JNB Airport to the city center. You can either take a taxi or use the train. A taxi is significantly more convenient since they operate round the clock, have a lot of luggage room, and will transport you to any destination in the city center or even outside the city. The only downside is that they can be quite expensive. A cheaper alternative is using the train which can be accessed from the airport train station located on the International Departures level. It leads directly to Sandton Station and operates from 4:50 am to 9:20 pm.

  • Which airline has the best business-class amenities?

    Two major airlines are offering Business Class seats for this route, South African Airways and Airlink.

  • Is it possible for my child to travel alone?

    Yes, South African Airways allows children to travel unaccompanied as long as you pay an extra fee to cover the unaccompanied minor service. This service is mandatory for kids aged 5-11 years and only optional for kids between ages 12-17. When using this service, you have to ensure that you book at least 24 hours in advance to allow enough time for proper arrangements.
