At Johannesburg (JNB), we recommend staying airside for a smooth and relaxed connection.

Cape Town follows South Africa Standard Time, which is UTC+2 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Bangkok follows Indochina Time, which is UTC+7 and also does not change seasonally. Bangkok is therefore 5 hours ahead of Cape Town throughout the year.

We recommend arriving at Cape Town International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure for Bangkok, as your journey includes international connections via Johannesburg and Singapore. This gives you time for check-in, security, and any formalities before boarding.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay in Thailand, as well as any transit rules for South Africa, Singapore, and Thailand. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity before you travel.
