You can't park by the arrivals / drop off area. You will be directed behind the parking building.

Sadly only two scanners open on a day when everyone is flying home... poor planning.... leave early people!

Check your luggage before leaving the airport, they might have broken it, especially the wheels. Claim the damage at the airport before you leave.

Given the choice of domestic lounges, I'd say my order of preference would currently be Slow Lounge, SAA (general-I'm not Platinum Voyager, so can't comment on that area) then Premier Lounge.

Shitty wifi, couldn't find a cellphone store. You get harassed for taxis and baggage.

Avoid the duty free shop when purchasing booze. The liquor shop next to Woolies in Terminal B (before security) has better prices.

Busiest airport in Africa. Beware of thieves - they're watching you. Even the luggage lockers are rip offs.
