Different lines depending on whether or not you require a visa. Don't get in the wrong line, it's a long wait.
The parking management take 40min to correct their known faulty parking bay ticket system
Scott🇭🇰🇨🇳🇹🇭🇨🇦July 1, 2013For domestic flights it is ok to carry onboard liquids exceeding 100mL (no limit)- Jolandé ScheepersNovember 20, 2011I'm really proud to call this airport home! Especially when you travel in Africa, you realize ORT is worldclass.
Restless World CitizenFebruary 5, 2017Many souvenir store and not much expensive vs. city prices .. but expect long queue for passport control ..
two trip transitting here and they broke my luggage lock in both trip. beware of anything you put in it. You might lose it if you transit here. #Disappointment
Pick Up Guest. Take advantage of FREE WI FI
Adhi LaksonoAugust 9, 2014It took us 3 hours to go out of the airport. Our bags and goods was checked over and over and over again. I think this needs to be improved.
Rami IsmailSeptember 6, 2016Very hit or miss. Be warned that travel to the US has a lot of paperwork hoops at this airport.
Alana FisherFebruary 6, 2015To claim VAT back ensure you get Customs to stamp receipts before you clear customs and go to the claims office
That claim of free wifi?? Its crap! There are 'AlwaysOn' hotspots littered all over the terminal, but they're not free! You have to pay for it! And most definitely not at cappello or piece a pizza!!
Could do with better selection of eateries once through securitu
Once checked into domestic, go and enjoy a REAL cup of coffee at Vida e Caffe- Scott🇭🇰🇨🇳🇹🇭🇨🇦July 6, 2013No free wifi which is always a problem for today's travelers. The signs are not clear enough. Staff are friendly.
Yarn LamSeptember 25, 2024Arrive early, passport clearance is very slow for departures. On arrival, do check that your bags are still intact and locks not broken.
Stephan SchwarzMarch 5, 2010Altough the airport has ramped up its effort for the worldcup, it remains a rather provincial affair. The souvenir shop is unique, especially if you like zebra's.
You can expect shocking service from passport control. Its like they doing you a favour instead of their job.- Airport parking services valet parking is cheap and they wash and vacuum your car as well.
Kristy AndersonAugust 28, 2013Don't bother buying non-South African chocolate @ Big5 Duty Free if you are flying to Botswana or Namibia. It's not allowed. No free wi-fi in the airport either.
It is useful to declare your electronics with customs. I've been checked before coming back in. Or perhaps it is coz of way I look?
- Piece @ Pizza near Cappellos & international boarding gates has free wi-fi & alright pizza slices
Check that your car is properly locked. Jammers on the prowl. No, seriously.
You can't park by the arrivals / drop off area. You will be directed behind the parking building.
The complementary WiFi AlwaysOn is only 50MB or 30 mns ;(
Wi Fi sucks at this airport.50mb really in this day and age?
Cris BaxterApril 22, 2013If you have the ability use one of the lounges. Facilities in the terminal are very dated and basic.
Get a voyager credit card, then you get to use business class check-in which is much quicker
