## About New York to Johannesburg

New York to Johannesburg is about 15 hours southbound and around 16 hours returning. United flies nonstop from Newark to O.R. Tambo International, and Delta flies nonstop from Atlanta. Many travelers connect instead through Europe or the Middle East, with a flight to London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Doha or Dubai and a second long flight south. Johannesburg is the main hub for safari trips and for Cape Town, so plan your onward flights when you book the long-haul.

### Booking tips

-   Johannesburg is the main connecting hub for Kruger, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe; leave a few hours for the onward flight.
-   Connecting through Doha, Dubai or a European hub splits the trip into two flights, each long enough for a real sleep.
-   South Africa's summer, November to March, is high season for Cape Town; book early.

### What moves the fare

-   Safari season (June to October) and the December holidays are the busiest. Shoulder months can bring better fares.
-   Three to four months ahead is a safe window. Many itineraries connect in Europe or the Gulf, which widens the choice of lie-flat seats.
-   Nonstop flights are usually the first to fill on popular dates, and a one-stop routing can price lower for the same days. Your agent compares both.

    > I had an excellent experience finding my business class tickets through BuyBusiness.com. The agent who helped me, Oslo Cooper, was honest, professional, and extremely attentive throughout the entire process. Oslo took the time to understand what I was looking for, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable with my options before moving forward. I really appreciated the personal attention and transparency. It made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I’m very happy with the service I received and would definitely recommend BuyBusiness.com and Oslo Cooper to anyone looking for help with business class travel. Excellent service from start to finish!

    > Den Dunn worked with me to get the best price He planned our return trip from Turkeye with an airline that I had no knowledge about. He assured me that Turkish air was great, which they were. He planned our change of planes in Houston, and it was one of the smoothest transitions I have ever had. There was no long lay over. I will definitely be giving him a call the nest time we travel .
