If you are arriving on an international flight and connecting to a domestic destination (like Cape Town or George), you must clear South African passport control in Johannesburg. Your greeter will expertly guide you through the most efficient immigration paths. If your bags are not checked through, we will assist you in securely collecting them, moving through customs, and re-checking them at Terminal B.
O.R. Tambo is a dynamic international airport, and reaching your next gate often requires navigating busy concourses. Our service provides a dedicated, personal walking escort. While we do not utilize golf carts or buggies, your concierge acts as a buffer between you and the crowds, pacing the journey perfectly to your comfort.
If you booked your flights separately, you will need to officially enter South Africa, collect your luggage in the public arrivals hall, and check in again. Because the public areas of JNB have many unauthorized baggage handlers, we highly recommend booking our Executive Porter Service to handle the luggage securely while we guide you to your next check-in.
