Dublin to Johannesburg Flights

Flights from Dublin Airport

It has two terminals, both of which are served by a range of transport options, although there is no direct rail link. To compensate, the airport has a range of bus routes to take passengers all over Ireland. The Air Link and Airport Hopper services are dedicated airport routes that run directly into the city centre.

Alternatively, it is possible to park at Dublin Airport, which has some 14,400 spaces allocated to long-term travellers and 3,600 short-stay spaces on offer, as well as provision for disabled parking. Regular travellers who are members of the Airport Club benefit from discounts in the short-stay car parks, as well as being fast-tracked through security.

Passengers on the flights Dublin offers can enjoy a range of shops in The Loop to keep them entertained before flying. The Click & Pick Up service also enables travellers to order duty free goods online and collect them at the airport, either on the way out or on their return journey.

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.
