How early should you leave Sandton?

On this route your departure time matters more than the distance suggests, because Sandton’s exit roads feed straight into Johannesburg’s busiest morning and afternoon traffic.

  • Domestic flights: leave Sandton at least 2 hours 30 minutes before departure
  • International flights: leave 3 to 3.5 hours before departure to allow for longer check-in and security queues
  • Weekday peak hours (06:30-08:30 and 15:30-18:00): add 20-30 minutes buffer for the M1 and R24
  • Early morning or late-night flights: traffic is light, but we still build in a small buffer for airport parking and drop-off congestion

Tell us your flight number and departure time when you book, and we’ll work out your ideal pickup for you. If you’re unsure, message our team on WhatsApp – we reply within minutes.
