Iberia transfer desk
Hi,
My mum and my friend will be transiting through JNB in a couple of days. They will be coming from LVI on BA and then traveling on IB to MAD (2 separate tickets / HBO). Although they have a 5h layover they would prefer to stay airside in JNB the whole time. If they are not able to get their boarding passes in LVI for the IB flight to Madrid, does IB have a counter in the transfers' desk? Anything else they should be mindful of? Thanks in advance. |
Arriving on BA57 at 10:15AM on Wed 6 Nov. Solo, hand bag only, in J. Considering taking ET21 (JNB to BLZ) at 12:20PM, giving me a 2hr 5min "connection". Separate tickets, naturally.
Is this sensible or am I silly to consider it? If I arrange for a VIP transfer, does that make this substantially less risky? |
2 hours would usually be a safe connection without checked bags but you are at the mercy of your inbound flight arriving on time. I can't see any real benefit in booking a "VIP" service as the international transit channel is not usually a bottleneck.

Connection JNB International/domestic
Good mornind,
I am going to South Africa in October, my international flight is landing in Johannesburg airport (JNB) and then I would like to book an domestic flight to join Cape Town. My flight is landing on Saturday morning at 10:20am and there is a domestic flight avaible at 12:40. Do you think it would be possible to make knowing that I would have to take my luggage go through immigration check in again my luggage and go through security? Thanks a lot in advance Best regards |
I would suggest buffering at least 3 hours between arrival and the domestic flight when on separate tickets.

QR to BA Interline Check in
Just a final check what to do for interline check-in from QR to BA. This Monday, I’ll fly from BKK via DOH and arrive JNB on QR1363 at 9:50 and I have a flight to WDH on BA6275 (on a separate tickets) at 12:00. That gives 2:10 hours connecting time. After read on flyer talk, i should be able to interline through check-in my bags all the way to WDH, am i correct? Once arrive at JNB, i have to go through international transfer gate, If i already have a BA boarding pass printed out from BKK, do i still need to go to BA international transfer counter to confirm my luggage tag? Is there any more concern or recommendation on the transit procedure would be appreciated. thank you in advanced |

Qatar have a policy to interline onto another Oneworld carrier where separate tickets are involved. Hopefully the check-in agent at BKK is able to do this for you but you may need to be firm and ask for a supervisor if needed.
Through check-inQatar Airways is pleased to offer passengers the courtesy of through check of themselves and their bags to their final destination when travelling on multi-sector journeys involving connections onto other oneworld member airlines, even when the trip is booked using separate tickets.However, customers should note that through check may not be possible on their return journey if there trip starts with another airline that does not provide the same level of service. Note that through check-in does mean a protected connection so delays or schedule changes could still be an issue. |
Question for the JNB experts. How bad is the immigration wait at night at JNB? I am arriving at 9:10 P.M. from Singapore (SQ482). It looks like KLM and Emirates each have a flight landing around the same time.

starting to put together a ZA trip for Jul/Aug 2020; looking for feedback as to whether these are reasonable ways to transit JNB:

Either that, or take one of the very early departures, leaving at least 3 hours to "connect".
of course if CX opens award space on CPT-HKG this will be moot :D |
