Jacksons - Johannesburg

Very efficient and clean airport. Lots of places to eat and charge your phone. Not very comfortable for long layovers though.

Well organized, beautiful terminal building convenient approach to main highways to Johannesburg and Pretoria. Gautrain is best mode of transportation to the twin cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria from the airport terminal. Nice departure, arrival and transit lounge.

Indeed the biggest and best airport in Africa. It is suited for my long layovers that I walk, eat, shop, rest and fly out of without any problems. My only observation is that free internet is only available for 4 hours in a day and not a fast one. Also, every 15 minute luggage security PA doesn't let you sleep for more than 15 minutes. Staff are kind and cooperative. Best in Africa!

A well kept airport with all the facilities available as well as it houses many shops and restaurants.... easily accessible from Sandton via Gautrain....

My wife and I recently flew from Cape Town to O.R Tambo return, and overall we had a good experience. The airport is quite large, but there are signage boards spread around as well as electronic boards with gate information on your flight details, so you won't get lost. In the Central Terminal as well as the Domestic Terminal there are several restaurants and curio shops to keep you busy and the waiting areas are spacious and clean. When we landed there was a mix up with our flights' luggage however the staff handled it professionally and across the board everyone we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. It is also good to note, if you are renting a car, bringing it back is easy as the road signage of where you need to go to drop it off is clearly set out.
