Comparing HLA and JNB for Soshanguve

Measured from the Soshanguve reference coordinate, Lanseria International Airport (HLA) is 55 km away and O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) is 76 km away (whereas the two airports sit 39 km from each other). Because a 21 km difference in distance from Soshanguve is small relative to the onward drive, compare airline schedules, car-hire availability, and actual highway routes from both terminals before booking.

The third airport in the table, Polokwane International Airport (PTG) at 227 km from Soshanguve, sits in a much more distant catchment and is not as convenient as HLA or JNB for a direct transfer.

Because those airfields do not have confirmed regular passenger flights in this snapshot, they are listed separately below rather than ranked as standard airline options.
