Seasonal Travel Advice

Johannesburg experiences busy travel periods throughout the year, particularly during the South African school holidays, Easter, Christmas and New Year. July is also a popular travel month as many families take advantage of the winter school break, while December is one of the busiest times for both domestic and international departures. If you’re travelling during these peak periods, booking several weeks or months in advance is recommended to secure better prices and more flight options. Travelling outside school holidays or choosing midweek departures can often help you find lower fares. Johannesburg traffic can be unpredictable, especially during weekday rush hours. If you’re departing from O.R. Tambo International Airport, allow extra travel time if you’re driving or using airport transfers. Morning traffic between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM and afternoon traffic between 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM can significantly increase journey times on major routes including the R24, N3 and N1. For international flights, arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before departure is generally recommended, while domestic travellers should aim to arrive 2 hours before departure.
