Durban - Post Report Question and Answers

What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?

We have family spread across the U.S. but primarily make home bases Florida and Colorado. It's a long trip to get to Durban, South Africa, but worth it! There are direct flights from Atlanta or JFK to Johannesburg, then a short flight to Durban from there. Another major hub in South Africa is Capetown, with plenty of direct flights from the US to Capetown. A flight from Capetown to Durban is fewer than 4 hours. - Sep 2024


Home base is Washington, travel time at least 20 hours, more if you transit Europe. Most connections will take you through Johannesburg but you can transit through Cape Town as well. - Sep 2010
