    That claim of free wifi?? Its crap! There are 'AlwaysOn' hotspots littered all over the terminal, but they're not free! You have to pay for it! And most definitely not at cappello or piece a pizza!!

    Very hit or miss. Be warned that travel to the US has a lot of paperwork hoops at this airport.

    Arrive early, passport clearance is very slow for departures. On arrival, do check that your bags are still intact and locks not broken.

    No free wifi which is always a problem for today's travelers. The signs are not clear enough. Staff are friendly.

    Altough the airport has ramped up its effort for the worldcup, it remains a rather provincial affair. The souvenir shop is unique, especially if you like zebra's.

    It took us 3 hours to go out of the airport. Our bags and goods was checked over and over and over again. I think this needs to be improved.

    Don't bother buying non-South African chocolate @ Big5 Duty Free if you are flying to Botswana or Namibia. It's not allowed. No free wi-fi in the airport either.

    You can expect shocking service from passport control. Its like they doing you a favour instead of their job.

    If you have the ability use one of the lounges. Facilities in the terminal are very dated and basic.

    It is useful to declare your electronics with customs. I've been checked before coming back in. Or perhaps it is coz of way I look?
