Re: Generally Agree
Certainly allow lots of time!! You were lucky to have six checkin people. Last time I checked in for a flight from JHB to the States there were about 100 people in line for checkin, the intercom was calling to begin boarding the flight and there were three people on the desks, one of whom promptly got up when they heard the announcement and began putting on an orange reflective vest and then left the counter. Chaos ensued as those on that flight tried to get to the front of the queue.
Generally Agree
I was at JNB twice during my trip due to flight transfer delays. It is nicely laid out with many spots to get your luggage "wrapped" (35R). Incoming passport control/customs were efficient and polite. CAUTION: If you are flying South African Airways allow a lot of time. I was stuck on a line of about 100-150 people waiting to check-in. Of 21 locations, SAA only manned six spots.
Its Fantastic!
Well, I stopped in at JHB international, at the start of the year and it was great! In the past it was Jan Smuts International then due to "apartheid" and it being wrong to keep that name, they changed it to Johannesburg International which was fair to both sides of the fence. Now they have changed it to Oliver Tambo.
Hold Luggage
Nice airport with all the facilities you would expect. There is a big problem with theft from hold luggage. Recommend that you take advantage of having bags wrapped in cling-film type wrap prior to check-in. (Virgin offer this for free.)
JNB Airport
An excellent airport for shopping and eating. A vast range of shops in international departures and they are not expensive. The domestic terminal has an excellent food court offering various culture food and again at an inexpensive cost. If you’re an aircraft spotter, the domestic has a brilliant public viewing area.
Good airport
