You can’t fly direct from most international destinations

At the moment, the only way to get to Eswatini is to fly from Johannesburg to King Mswati III International Airport on Airlink. Matsapha Airport has been replaced with this much larger airport. Prior to COVID, Airlink was the sole provider of flights to Eswatini from Johannesburg, which took about 45 minutes.

The only way to get to eSwatini's King Mswati III International Airport is to fly from Johannesburg, however, new flight routes are likely to open up in the near future. When flying out of eSwatini, an obligatory airport tax of 50 rands (approximately £2.80) is imposed. However, land borders from both South Africa and Mozambique make it simple to enter the country, where cars are taxed 50 rands per vehicle. Flights were available four times each day for $175 one-way and $350 return. When leaving King Mswati III International Airport, an airport tax of E50 is required.
