Construction
The international terminal is currently undergoing major construction work and may look and feel disorganized. Everything a traveler need is however still there; maybe just a bit harder to find. If you can not find what you are looking for simply ask someone and they will point you in the right direction. Due to space limitations (made even worse by the construction work) you will find fewer restaurants there and they will almost always be fully occupied. It is well worth taking a walk over to Domestic if you don't find anything you like at International. The domestic terminals was enlarged a couple of years ago, is well organized and have all the shops and restaurants that you might need.

Located in Kempton Park, about 20km east of downtown Johannesburg this airport serves at the major sub-Saharan hub. More than 40 airlines fly regular flight to and from here. Everything you would expect from a large international airport is catered for; plenty of restaurants, shops and ATMs.
This airport has been renamed twice in the last couple of years; you may find that people and publications still refer to it by its previous names of Johannesburg International Airport or Jan Smuts. The airport is constantly expanding, and you will probably find construction work in progress: the current big project is an additional international terminal.
The airport is located at the intersection of the R21 and R24 freeways. From Johannesburg, follow the R24 east and take exit 46, from Tshwane, follow the R21 south and take exit 46.
