Hi all,


Has anyone recently been through either JNB or CPT?

Any ideas what the transit times are like? Have read a few different comments re JNB but not much on CPT.

And perhaps another query - flying SIN-JNB-CPT with SQ. Any ideas if Customs is processed in JNB or end of journey in CPT?

Cheers.

When I landed in JNB it took about 30 minutes to get through immigration, pretty slow process. Flew domestically in and out of CPT but was fairly quick.

I’m a frequent traveller to South Africa. JNB passport can be slow at peak (morning) arrival times, especially for non-citizens. But if you are SQ to CPT, you stay on board in Joburg and clear customs and passport in CPT, which is generally far quicker and quieter.

Thank you both :)
Rolling the dice and going with the 2hr transit between arriving in CPT and heading to PLZ.
(don't ask why I didn't do JNB to PLZ - brain fart when booking - hard to ignore nicely discounted J class tickets!).
