How much do flights to Johannesburg cost?

Getting from Johannesburg's airport to the city center

Johannesburg is served by O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), located 24 km east of the city center. As Africa's busiest airport, it offers several airport transfers to city center destinations including the Gautrain rapid rail service, metered taxis, ride-hailing apps, shuttle buses, and private transfers. The Gautrain provides the fastest and most reliable connection to Sandton and central Johannesburg, while road-based options offer flexibility for travelers with heavy luggage or destinations not on the rail network. Journey times by road vary significantly depending on traffic conditions, particularly during peak hours.

Notes:

  • Prices in ZAR (South African Rand); table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • The Gautrain operates from approximately 05:30 to 20:30 on weekdays, with reduced hours on weekends.
  • Ride-hailing pickups at O.R. Tambo are from designated areas on the arrivals level.
  • Traffic on the N12 and R24 highways can significantly extend journey times during peak hours (07:00–09:00 and 16:00–18:00).
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
