INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES

Around 50 airlines fly to South Africa but they nearly all transit in Johannesburg airport before going to Cape Town.

The flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town takes 2h10 and you should count another 30 minutes to go from the domestic terminal to the international terminal in Johannesburg airport..

To give you an idea,from Johannesburg airport it will take you:

-11h30 from Paris,

-10h30 from Madrid,

-15h20 from New York,

-12h from London,

-10h10 from Frankfurt or Buenos Aires,

-13h15 from Hong Kong.

The great thing is most of the flights from Europe are by night so you'll be able to relax and maybe sleep and have a breakfast before arriving.

Also, the great news is you won't suffer from jet lag because during summer it's the same time in South Africa than in Europe and in winter South Africa is one hour ahead.

If you are looking for international flights,through my experience, I have compile click information that I would like to share with you.
