O.R. Tambo International Airport

Indeed the biggest and best airport in Africa. It is suited for my long layovers that I walk, eat, shop, rest and fly out of without any problems. My only observation is that free internet is only available for 4 hours in a day and not a fast one. Also, every 15 minute luggage security PA doesn't let you sleep for more than 15 minutes. Staff are kind and cooperative.Best in Africa!

My wife and I recently flew from Cape Town to O.R Tambo return, and overall we had a good experience. The airport is quite large, but there are signage boards spread around as well as electronic boards with gate information on your flight details, so you won't get lost. In the Central Terminal as well as the Domestic Terminal there are several restaurants and curio shops to keep you busy and the waiting areas are spacious and clean. When we landed there was a mix up with our flights' luggage however the staff handled it professionally and across the board everyone we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. It is also good to note, if you are renting a car, bringing it back is easy as the road signage of where you need to go to drop it off is clearly set out.

One of South Africa's best airports. Self service check in available. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice restaurants inside. Parking is a bit pricey

The experience was just alright. The general condition of the airport is good, it is clean. The ladies toilets were generally clean but parts of the ceiling had fallen off and some hand dryers not working, just needs a bit of maintenance here and there. Otherwise all was okay

Many shops, restaurants and cafes are very convenient. Many elevators do not work, just closed very annoying. The tax return office guy is very rude to us he was sleeping, and when we woke him up, he was not happy. This was last July 29,2022.

I had to pick up someone that was pushed in wheel chair. So I only could use lifts. Everything worked perfectly and the pickup went without any problems. Everyone was also very friendly and helpful.

No real complaintsSecurity was busy but efficient and you didn't have to wait too long in the long queues that were for domestic departures only.Plenty of departure boards around so it's easy to find your flight and what gate you're leaving from.Also a lot of shops and cafes as you would expect and the toilets were also very clean and the staff working for the airport were friendly and polite.I still think Cape town is the much better airport to leave and fly into South Africa but not all airlines fly into Cape town.

OR Tambo is one of South Africa's biggest airports. With international airlines as well as domestic airlines, this airport connects you to the world and beyond but is also just as efficient in connecting you to whichever city you need to connect with. The airport has retail stores, banks, resturants ,the post office as well as pharmacies. It's truly a convenience all round for all your needs. Security is very tight and the service very professional always.

Helpful and well distributed security personnel and national policemen. Smooth flowing of events especially with credits to the arrival terminals where planes are fastidiously marshalled in and out of landing, loading and unloading zones with meticulous attention and versatility of perfection.
