Connection Time at JNB Airport
Hi Michel85200,
Thanks so much for your feedback.
I just changed my ticket. I didn’t want to take the risk.
Peace of mind has a price—the cost of changing the ticket.
Now I’ve got 4 hours and 30 minutes ahead of me, which is more than enough to check out the duty-free shops too.
Thanks again.

Connection Time at JNB Airport
Hi there,
I’m heading to Kruger Park for 4 days in May 2026.
Departing from Paris → Skukuza via JNB on Air France.
Here’s what’s worrying me: my flight lands (in theory) at JNB at 8:30 AM (Terminal A), then I’ve got a JNB → Skukuza departure at 10:05 AM (Terminal B).
That leaves me with 1 hour and 35 minutes to make the connection and clear customs.
I don’t have any checked luggage—just carry-on. I called Air France, and they said it’s doable (in theory) with a minimum connection time of 1 hour 30 minutes (which is why they sold the ticket), but I’ll need to move quickly.
From your experience, is this realistic in practice?
Can I ask customs officers to let me through as a priority? (I’ve got my flight ticket to show.)
Thanks for your insights!
Serge
