Cheap flights from Warsaw to Johannesburg

November is the cheapest month to fly from Warsaw to Johannesburg. Prices are shown for every month from September through August, so you can compare the whole year at a glance. In Warsaw, November is late autumn, while Johannesburg is in late spring. School holidays and the festive season tend to push fares up, so book early if you need to travel then. Midweek departures are often quieter than weekend ones.

The airlines that fly this route include HI Fly Transportes Aereo, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Austrian, TAP Portugal, Braathens Regional Aviation, and Aegean Airlines. Since there are no direct flights, every option involves at least one connection, often through a hub in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa. What is included in your fare varies by airline and ticket type, so check baggage allowances and meal service before you book.

You'll arrive at O.R. Tambo International, the main airport serving Johannesburg. It sits outside the city centre, and the usual ways into town are by taxi, ride-hailing app, or airport shuttle. The drive can take a while in heavy traffic, so allow extra time if you have a connection or a meeting. When you land, have your passport and any required documents ready for immigration, and keep an eye on your baggage. If you're continuing to another destination in South Africa, check whether you need to change terminals.
