London to Johannesburg Flights
Flights from London
There are several good options when booking flights from London. With a number of large international airports, London is a major hub for air transport, and is therefore a good starting point for travel to many destinations around the world. London Heathrow, London Gatwick, and London Stansted are all busy departure points, and can all be reached by road or public transport from the city centre. London City and London Luton airports are also departure points for flights from London.
Getting to the airport
When travelling by car, each of the major airports offers extensive parking facilities, often with dedicated bus transfer from the car park to the air terminals. Meanwhile, there are also a number of ways to get to the airports by public transport. London Heathrow, for example, is 15 miles from central London and can be reached in about an hour on the Piccadilly line of the London Underground, or in 15 to 30 minutes by express train from Paddington station. London Gatwick, 28 miles outside central London, can be reached by express train from Victoria station in about half an hour. London Stansted is further away, at 40 miles from central London, and is 45 minutes away by train from Liverpool Street station.

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. Search ebookers for discounts on tickets to area attractions.
