Accepted Answer

If your London to Johannesburg flight is departing from London Gatwick Airport, you'll find the most convenient way to get to the airport is to catch the Gatwick Express from the London Victoria Station in the city centre. These trains depart every 15min or so and typically take around 30 minutes to get to the city. It's also a much cheaper option than taking a taxi from outside of the arrivals hall at the airport. London Heathrow also has an express train that is the quickest and easiest way to get to the airport. The Heathrow Express travels from London Paddington Station to the airport in around 15 minutes. Once arriving in Johannesburg, you'll have a couple of options for getting to the city centre. One of the easiest and most reliable ways to get where you need to go is to use a taxi app and arrange a pick up at the airport. Another alternative is to catch the Gautrain from the airport to the city centre. You can catch the train from the airport to Sandton in under 20 minutes, and around an hour to the city centre.

OR Tambo International Airport is the main arrival airport for flights from London to Johannesburg and not only serves the city of Johannesburg but also the whole of the Gauteng province. You'll be a short distance away from cities like Germiston, Boksburg, Benoni and Tembisa. If you're looking to experience the culture of Johannesburg and the surrounding areas, catch a taxi from the airport to Soweto, which will take around 1h depending on traffic and explore all the settlement has to offer. OR Tambo also serves the executive capital of South Africa, Pretoria. Pretoria is roughly an hour away from the airport by taxi. You can also get there using the Gautrain. You'll hop on the train on the East - West line and head to Sandton, from Sandton you'll jump onto another train at the station heading to Hatfield Station in Pretoria. This trip shouldn't take longer than 1h 20min.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

When deciding on the right airport to depart from, bear in mind that London Heathrow International Airport is a much bigger and fancier airport than the others in London. If you enjoy spending time in the airport and exploring all of the facilities, Heathrow is the best bet. You can expect a couple of delays because of the number of passengers in the airport though, so keep that in mind. London Gatwick Airport is a little smaller than Heathrow but also one of the main airports in London. Gatwick offers frequent flights, often at a lower cost than flights from Heathrow International. It'll take you close to 15 minutes longer to get to Gatwick from the city centre though.
