Parking at Cardiff Airport

For travellers who enjoy the simplicity of familiar fast food, Burger King is located on the terminal's first floor for a warm breakfast to go.

Flights to Johannesburg

Johannesburg, the capital of South Africa, produces up to 10 percent of the country's gross domestic product. Travellers visit the city to explore its rich culture and developing marketplace. Those flying into the region on flights booked through ebookers typically arrive at the OR Tambo International Airport, which is located approximately thirteen miles from the city centre. Major airlines operating through the airport include Air France, Air Zimbabwe, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Delta, Lufthansa, and Qantas.

Getting Around the City

Rental cars and taxi services are available at the airport. Taxi fares vary dramatically due to the lack of a standard metering system. The city's streets were designed to handle car traffic, so the public transit system is limited. Private minibuses also offer travel services. If you opt to drive a rental car during your stay, be aware that roads are often closed, and you will have to take detours to reach your destination.

The Weather in Johannesburg

Temperatures in Johannesburg range from lows of approximately three degrees Celsius to summer highs of twenty-nine degrees in January. The rainy season coincides with summer, so if you plan to visit during this period, you should pack rain gear. Winter travellers may wish to bring a heavy coat because of near freezing temperatures.

Enjoy Your Trip to South Africa

Because of cold temperatures, discounts on hotels are available during winter months. The bulk of travellers come to Johannesburg in the spring or fall. You should visit the world-famous Apartheid Museum, which pays homage to the fight for independence in the country. The scenic Hillbrow and Brixton Towers make a striking appearance in the Johannesburg's skyline, providing points of reference for those looking to engage in walking tours of the area.
