I'm a long time SQ patron. For good reason. Had a similar trip last year and took another airline (at that time, price was the main factor). This time I took SQ as they had really good rates. No comparison. Dependable, reliable service and excellent aircraft. No issue with my special checked in item (a guitar that had to be handled differently) on my way to my destination (not this flight). In the previous mentioned other airline, they misplace my luggage upon arrival. After spending about an hour (with no effective help from that airline's agent), I managed to find it at another belt!

Johannesburg climate
Johannesburg is lucky enough to have the sun shine year-round. If you book flights in winter, average temperatures are about 26 degrees in January, is summer it is 16 degrees in June – and humidity is not a factor. The winters, April through September, are mild and short and snow is very rare.
Getting around Johannesburg
Johannesburg’s layout lends itself best to driving. There are several car rental companies with desks at the airport. There are city buses and informal minibus services. The Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit System offers cheap, reliable transport. Buses run in dedicated lanes and smaller, feeder buses bring people from the outer areas to the stations on the trunk routes. There’s also Metrobus, which offers scheduled bus services around the city. Minibuses are probably best avoided unless you are with a local. Routes can be confusing. There are plenty of taxis, but try to settle on a fare before you set off to avoid arguments with the driver when you arrive at your destination.
Getting downtown from the airport
The major car-rental companies have desks at OR Tambo International (JNB). Metered taxis and minibus shuttles – to a number of destinations in and around Johannesburg – can be booked in the Baggage Claim area.
