cage 316September 11, 2013You have to check out the new viewing deck......awesome awesome awesome!!!!!!
Andrew DunsmureAugust 17, 2015Good airport with good lounges. Plenty of shops and generally well organised.
Xiao WuDecember 24, 2011If you're having a long lay over, check out the premier lounge on the 2nd level. Pay 40 dollars and you get to shower, eat, drink, go online with their free wifi!
Rob ThompsonAugust 14, 2014Arrival is confusing and the help desk can be hard to negotiate. Use free wifi and google!
Steve RayFebruary 27, 2019If you hope to reclaim VAT tax on any purchases, be sure to stop at the customs office BEFORE you go through security check.
Steve MascordJanuary 18, 2011You don't need your boarding pass to get out of the international transfer lounge. If you have a long layover and your onward airline desk is not yet open, show your itinerary at the screening point.
It's a very good airport, very organized and modern in terms of technology
Permanent residents can now use the South African passport queue - nice touch!
Seriously there is no urgency or efficiency in this place...my how they just watch the world go by....

The quietest time at this airport is a Sunday morning, simply breeze through security and immigration in under 30 minutes !
Checking in early is always awesome! Chill and relax until your flight

marcus HNovember 11, 2014It is an airport. You can depart from here or enter Namibia. What else? Nothing else!
Best spot to arrange for a pick up by family / friends is outside the piece-a-pizza on the Muzz layer
Get a bottle of Clemengold Gin at the Big Five duty free!
Alcohol has a heightened effect at higher altitudes so please take it easy on the bottle before you board and during flight.
Amanda GillespieOctober 17, 2011There is a free charging station just inside the Terminal B departures security checkpoint. EU and SA plug points, with a "bar counter" and stools to sit and work at.
Park at Emperors Palace and take the shuttle to the airport, much cheaper and lots to do at Emperors!
ElinetradingDecember 10, 2014One of the best places to have a T-bone before flying out of the country
Leave your vehicle just catch the Gautrain it will save you loads of stress
John KiddeNovember 7, 2014MASSIVE airport. If transferring to SA Express be prepared to go up a few escalators to reach the gate.
Buy a sim card only from Woolies 1 rand. The providers charge 20 rand. Don't use bureau de changes, withdraw from visa better rate. Btw Gautrain goes up till midnight if you need to use it.
- Are those security folks doing the right thing or just going through the motions - really cool airport
Joe HallMarch 19, 2017When checking in, give yourselves plenty of time to make it through the layers of security.
lamazoneNovember 30, 2013Long layover? Go to the BIDvest lounge, next to the Tax refund (1st floor, just after checking in terminal A). Your business class pass or 40$/275 Rd grants you a 4-hour stay in this business lounge.
Pramod HVApril 26, 2013Airlink Flight from George lands very smoothly at JNB... Avro RJ 85 is a nice aircraft ....
Rami IsmailSeptember 6, 2016Very hit or miss. Be warned that travel to the US has a lot of paperwork hoops at this airport.
Scott🇭🇰🇨🇳🇹🇭🇨🇦July 6, 2013No free wifi which is always a problem for today's travelers. The signs are not clear enough. Staff are friendly.- Park at Emperors Palace and grab the shuttle in. If you sign up for their loyalty card, parking is free!
kg11June 21, 2012The airport of recollections visited in 2010 at the time of the South Africa World Cup !!
Always on WiFi nolonger has the free package. Connect to VAST instead!
