The only airport that offers return or one-way flights from London to Durban is London Heathrow International Airport. London Heathrow International Airport has hotels onsite where you can stay if you have an early morning flight. Find airport lounges, cafes, duty-free shopping, pharmacies and cash machines throughout the whole airport. The main airport in Durban is Durban King Shaka International Airport, located north of the city. This airport offers plenty of retail outlets and lounges as well as cash machines and currency exchange desks. It's well connected to major roads, and you can hire a car from one of the companies located just outside the passenger terminal. Durban Airport has the added bonus of being right on the coast, so you'll have a nice view when you land.

What is the best way to get in and out of airports in London and Durban?

The airport you depart from will be London Heathrow International Airport and there are a few ways to arrive there. Great ways of arriving at the airport include calling a taxi or taking the train. You can take the Heathrow Express, which departs every 15 minutes from Paddington Station and gets to the airport in about 15 minutes. The Piccadilly train line offers journeys to and from the airport once every hour and takes around 50 minutes. To the city centre of Durban from Durban King Shaka International Airport, you will have to take a taxi or an uber. You can find taxis outside the entrance to the airport, and it takes about 30 minutes to reach the city centre. South Africa has good road networks, but public transport in Durban is rather poorly connected, so you might want to hire a car if you plan to travel outside of the city. Which cities can you get to from Durban King Shaka International Airport? The closest cities to Durban are Dolphin Coast, Umlazi, Umkomaas, Scottburgh, and Pietermaritzburg. We recommend hiring a car if you plan to travel between cities, as it's the easiest way to get around. Dolphin Coast is roughly 27 minutes by car north of Durban King Shaka International Airport. You'll find Umlazi just south of the city, around a 45-minute drive from the airport, while Umkomaas is about 15 minutes further. Scottburgh, a resort town, is close to Umkomaas and just a little over an hour south of the airport. Pietermaritzburg is about 1h 27min by car and is a little further inland. You can get to Johannesburg, the country's capital, but it's quite far. It's around 6 hours by car, so if you plan to visit, you might want to take a domestic flight. You will also be able to take the bus to these cities from the bus station in Durban. You could take an Uber from the airport to the centre of Durban and take the bus from the bus.

Which airlines fly direct from London to Durban?

Two major airline companies provide the majority of London to Durban flights; however, there are few direct flights.
