Booking tips
How to fly this route for less.
- Allow for the journey to O.R. Tambo from your actual address, parking or bag drop, and security before the airline deadline. For an early departure, get a transfer quote for that time rather than a daytime estimate.
- For travel to Kathu or a work site, arrange collection from SIS before booking. Check the selected operating day and arrival time with the person collecting you; do not assume a rental vehicle or work shuttle will be available without an arrangement.
- Compare the fare with the bags and optional extras you need. If an itinerary connects, check the full elapsed time, ticket arrangement and bag handling before choosing it.
