For most travellers connecting in Johannesburg, it is most convenient to remain airside between flights. O.R. Tambo International Airport offers cafés, restaurants, and shops where you can stretch your legs, enjoy a meal, or pick up travel essentials.

If you have a longer connection, consider booking access to a pay-per-use lounge or day room for a quieter space to rest, subject to availability. Always allow enough time to move between gates, complete security checks, and board your onward flight to Cape Town.

Fukuoka follows Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and does not observe daylight saving time. Cape Town follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2), also without daylight saving. Cape Town is therefore 7 hours behind Fukuoka throughout the year. For example, when it is 12.00 noon in Fukuoka, it is 5.00am in Cape Town.
