Cape Town Airport is the 2nd largest in South Africa and is located 20 kms approx. from the Cape Town city centre. It comprises four terminals including a spacious International Arrivals terminal which was opened in 2001, and a new International Departures terminal completed in 2003 capable of handling a million passengers a year. Book your flight tickets and accommodation, and arrange your car hire on this page below. An extensive airport upgrade comprising at least one additional flight terminal has been planned in advance of the 2010 World Cup. Work has already begun. Useful Airport FactsThe passenger friendly International Departures terminal at the Airport is built on three levels. The ground floor is a public area where 68 check-in counters, ticket counters, baggage handling areas and shops are situated.

Cellular phone rental agencies are situated in the international terminals. A private agency operates a postal service outlet alongside the Domestic Arrivals Terminal.

Always make sure you know which airline you're going to be booked on when flying to South Africa in case you need to make changes before you leave. Once you've booked and paid for a specific flight ticket, expect to pay extra if you want to move to another flight. One of the best ways to find and book a cheap flight is by using an online system which searches for and compares the rates charged by all the airlines servicing the route you require. You simply enter your departure and arrival points and the dates of your flights, and you are presented with a list of the different airline ticket rates. You then select and book the airline you require. I have placed such a script to the right of this text. Also use it to search for hotels and car hire at cheaper rates.

Secure lockup parking facilities are also provided. Other Planned Extensions to Cape Town Airport prior to the 2010 World Cup include satellite terminals with underground passenger walkways, more runways and improved aircraft parking.
