Looking out towards the drop-off roadway.

Overall the flow works well. It will take a while for the general public to get used to where each airline checks in etc, but overall I think it is a massive improvement.

This is SUCH a big improvement. And soon the highspeed rail link will connect you to the Capital and Johannesburg. Its brighter, lighter and much much much better than the old, cramped, dark, dingy, irritating apartheid bunker.

why do you have to mention apartheid?? for the future good of South Africa please stop mentioning apartheid just for the fact of mentioning it, especially on an international thread. it just reminds the world of a horrible past that we no longer want to be associated with! thanks

Wow very nice airport...i will go on the world cup...if i go

Uuuumm..... ok????

What's wrong with mentioning apartheid? We shouldn't be ashamed of our history. We need to talk about it and learn from it. Never to not mention it and pretend like it never happened. In South Africa, we use the word quite freely, becuase its a time we must learn from and get past. And Jakes1 is right its a great improvement from the old dingy apartheid bunker (yes apartheid actually did have an architectural style lol). The new airport shows the new South Africa: open, full of potential and bright :)

i love the black pillars!

we shouldnt be ashamed of our history?? is that a joke, because i think any history which includes the segregation of a people based on race is pretty shameful. Its like saying germany shouldnt be ashamed of nazisizm, and im pretty sure the general population are! i am ashamed of parts of our history because it puts a very bad light on the country, and will continue to be ashamed of future policies that will do the same! anyway, nice airport, a good upgrade :)

impressive - it was horrible in 2002 checking in - so crowded and cramped

love the black details

my cousin is getting married in may and wants us to come down - i wish i could i could see it all in person - but its so much i kinda wanna wait until after 2010 so i can at least check out the gautrain on a visit

Awesome airport, i'm surprised of it!!!

I'd like to see some pics about airplanes in Johannesbourg.

Very spacious and modern. It's really evolved into a beautiful airport.

Hahahahahaha you know what I meant SAdude. I meant that we shouldn't push it away and pretend like it never happened. Rather we should recognize it and learn from it, and hope that future generations won't repeat the injustices of the past.
