Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to fly from O.R. Tambo Intl. Airport (JNB) to BFN?
A direct flight with Airlink (South Africa) takes about 1 hour. Secure a seat on the 9:15AM flight from Johannesburg Airport and land at Bram Fischer International Airport at 10:15AM. Pick up an awesome deal on this route when you book your ticket with Expedia.
Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Johannesburg Airport to Bloemfontein Airport (BFN) last minute?
Booking your trip from Johannesburg Airport to Bram Fischer International Airport last minute could save you a pretty penny if you happen to find a real bargain. However, tickets usually don’t get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (that could mean the middle seat!). If you don’t want to risk it, book well in advance of when you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
What are the most popular departure times for flights from O.R. Tambo Intl. Airport (JNB) to BFN?
For Airlink (South Africa) flights setting off from JNB to Bram Fischer International Airport, the peak period is between 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM. If you’d like to avoid any delays, head off in the morning. This allows you to miss the air traffic that builds up later in the day.
Can I change the date of my flight from JNB to Bram Fischer International Airport?
You can quickly and easily make changes to your JNB to Bloemfontein Airport (BFN) ticket by logging in to the Expedia Trips portal. But before amending dates or times, browse the conditions and rules in your itinerary to learn what the carrier will allow you to do and if change fees apply.

You can also swing by our Customer Service portal for more info and to chat with our Virtual Agent.
