Jo'burg here we come

There are many reasons why people would want to take a direct flight to Johannesburg; after all, it's a dynamic city - a cultural and economic hub that thrives on doing business with people from across the world. A richly cosmopolitan city with a pulsating night-life, Johannesburg has great restaurants and a wonderful choice of hotels both at the airport and in the heart of the city.

First things first

It is very easy to find return flights to South Africa. If you have a EEA passport, or are from Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or Japan, you do not require a visa to visit Johannesburg but, if you are from anywhere else in the world, it can take up to a month to get a visa to South Africa sorted out. In other words, before booking the cheapest round trip ticket to Johannesburg, make sure that the South African authorities will allow you to enter their great country.

Once you have arrived on one of the direct flights to Johannesburg life does not have to get expensive as there are cheap minibuses available to take passengers from the airport to city hotels. The best advice is to book a minibus seat with your hotel room as they are usually free. There are also freelance minibus services available at the airport but they are less reliable and cost a few rand. Alternatively, there are metered taxis offering a door to door service or, if you are experienced at driving in South Africa, there are about ten car hire companies that have offices at the airport.

Although flights to Johannesburg can get booked up there are good deals to be found if you know where to look and the best place has to be price comparison website. People generally have their favourites when it comes to price comparison websites and through experience and reputation the best usually get used over and over again.

South Africa is a country where money goes quite far but it is still easy to spend a lot of rand. Therefore, it is important to fly with a reputable airline where you could be sitting amongst business passengers who have paid a great deal more for their seats than you, simply because they chose to use the services of a travel agent rather than utilising the services of a price comparison website. Of course, in order for you to get cheap seats, others have to pay a lot more for theirs.

English, but not as you know it

Language is a funny thing and although most South Africans in Johannesburg do speak English it can be a mix of Afrikaans and Nguni and Sotho languages. If you are English, many of their favourite words and phrases will make sense but if you are American, then you may find that you are scratching your head wondering exactly what bonnets and boots have to do with cars. Most importantly, the local people are usually smiling and helpful even if their accent can take a little deciphering
