Can I make a 1 hour 15 min connection at JNB on an international flight?
1 hour 15 min is below the 90-minute international MCT at Johannesburg International. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. Terminal A and Terminal B are connected via the Central Terminal Building by an indoor walkway with moving walkways in sections, taking roughly 10-15 minutes at a normal pace. Passengers transferring from international to domestic (or vice versa) must clear immigration/customs and pass through security screening again, which is where most delays occur rather than the physical walk itself.
What happens if I miss my connection at JNB?
If you miss a connection, head to your airline's transfer desk or ticketing counter in the relevant terminal (Domestic in Terminal A, International in Terminal B) as South African Airways and partner carriers typically rebook passengers on the next available flight, though options can be limited outside peak banks.
