FAQs for booking Seattle to Johannesburg flights

  • Where can I exchange currency at O.R. Tambo International Airport?

    To allow for easy transactions while in Johannesburg, you will have to exchange a few US dollars for the South African rand. There are multiple currency exchange sites at the airport including Travelex, American Express, and Inter Africa Bureau de Change, among others. They are all located in one area which is in Terminal A after passport control.

  • What documents do I need to fly from Seattle to Johannesburg?

    To be allowed entry into South Africa, you will need to provide a valid passport with at least six months of validity left. The passport should have at least two blank pages for entry and exit immigration stamps. Fortunately, US citizens don’t need to provide a visa upon entry unless you plan to stay in the country for longer than 90 days, which will require you to apply for a special permit.

    Yes, public transport is available from JNB airport to the city center through city buses and informal minibuses. You can board the bus outside the domestic and international terminals in the ground transportation center. If you want a more convenient alternative, you can choose to take a taxi which is also easily available outside the airport terminals. One upside to taking the taxi is that they can drop you at any destination in town while public buses will drop you at designated bus stations and stops.

  • Are there any on-site hotels at SEA Airport?

    There are plenty of hotels located near the SeaTac airport and each one of them offers a convenient place to stay when you’re flying out of the airport.

KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Seattle to Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport

  • When flying from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), ensure you arrive at the airport at least 3h before your flight is set to depart. This should give you enough time to go through the security lines at the airport without the risk of missing your flight.
  • When booking connecting flights, go for the ones with the automatic transfer option. This is because the alternative, self-transfer, will require you to check into every individual flight.
  • To make your trip more sustainable, consider taking public transport to and from the respective airports. This reduces the number of cars on the road hence reducing carbon emissions. You should also try and pack light luggage and avoid single-use plastic during your trip.
  • If you want to get a rental car at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport (JNB), there are plenty of rental companies that have set up shop at JNB Airport including Avis, Budget, and Thrifty Car rentals. They are all located in the northern region of the airport next to the long-term car park.
  • To enjoy the lounge facilities at SEA Airport, consider booking your flight with Delta or United Airlines. Both have a lounge at the airport where you can just hang out as you wait for your boarding time.
