turnaround time at JNB?

HI all, I'm doing a mileage run to JNB and I have a short turnaround time (scheduled to depart 1 hour and 54 minutes after scheduled landing).

Do you think this is doable with customs and all?

Or can I just stay in the international terminal and not even bother?

I am not sure if the lines vary with the time of day, but when departing JNB last year, the immigration line was over 1.5 hours.

To be clear, I meant immigration, not customs. Thanks for realizing that, Smitty. I dug a bit further into the archives, and I suspect I'll be alright.

The immigration transfer from intl to intl was brutal yesterday. Almost 2 hours to get thru. If you have a tight connection they may let you to the front of the line but I wouldn't count on it. It's quite the cluster

Gah. Thanks for the update, bretthexum. Yeah. I'm actually going to say NVM for this year I think. After reading about the Delta Investor call and their changes to upgrades, I'm not going to chase I don't think.

Luckily we had a long layover during our run. There were a lot of people wound up and tempers were short. Once you get thru the airport is great though.
