KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Seattle to Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport

  • When flying from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), ensure you arrive at the airport at least 3h before your flight is set to depart. This should give you enough time to go through the security lines at the airport without the risk of missing your flight.
  • When booking connecting flights, go for the ones with the automatic transfer option. This is because the alternative, self-transfer, will require you to check into every individual flight.
  • To make your trip more sustainable, consider taking public transport to and from the respective airports. This reduces the number of cars on the road hence reducing carbon emissions. You should also try and pack light luggage and avoid single-use plastic during your trip.
  • If you want to get a rental car at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport (JNB), there are plenty of rental companies that have set up shop at JNB Airport including Avis, Budget, and Thrifty Car rentals. They are all located in the northern region of the airport next to the long-term car park.
