Seasonal Travel Advice

Port Elizabeth enjoys a mild coastal climate throughout the year, making it a popular destination in every season. Passenger numbers typically increase during the December and January summer holidays, Easter and South African school holidays, when both tourists and residents travel more frequently. If you’re travelling during these busy periods, booking your flights several weeks or months in advance can help you secure better fares and a wider choice of departure times. Outside peak holiday periods, particularly during February, May and September, travellers can often find lower prices on domestic routes. Traffic in Port Elizabeth is generally lighter than in larger South African cities, making journeys to Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport relatively straightforward. However, allow additional travel time during weekday commuting hours (7:00 AM-8:30 AM and 4:00 PM-6:00 PM) and during holiday periods when roads near the airport become busier. For domestic flights, arriving around two hours before departure is recommended. If you’re connecting to an international flight through Johannesburg or Cape Town, it’s still advisable to arrive early to allow sufficient time for baggage check-in and security screening.
