Getting to Lesotho by plane

Maseru is just over an hour’s flight from Johannesburg. South African Air Link runs at least a couple of daily flights between Maseru and Johannesburg. Moshoeshoe Airport is 18km out of Maseru. There are taxi, bus and hire-car services available at Maseru International Airport. Many hotels also provide courtesy buses to and from the airport.
There is a service charge for all passengers departing from Maseru International Airport.

When flying to Maseru, please make sure your luggage in on the aeroplane. More often than not the luggage is dumped and arrives on the next flight or even a day later. The lodges out of Maseru have to spend endless trips collecting your luggage and this will be charged to clients account. SAA do not compensate in anyway for "Dumped Luggage." and do not transport it to the lodges out of Maseru. Hiking holidays can be spoilt due to boots in lost luggage!

From Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban

SA Airlink, an associate of SAA, has flights to Maseru using 29-seater BAe Jetstream 41 aircraft.

From other parts of Africa

There are regional links from almost all other African countries to Johannesburg, and some links to Durban and Cape Town.

From Europe

There are daily links from most European countries to Johannesburg with European long-haul carriers and South African Airways, as well as direct links to Durban from London and to Cape Town from London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Copenhagen, Zurich and Vienna.

From the Middle East, Asia and Australia

The best routes are via Johannesburg from Tel Aviv, Dubai, Mumbai (Bombay), Bangkok, Hong Kong, Osaka, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Perth and Sydney.

From the Americas

SAA and American Airlines together operate 7 flights a week from New York to Johannesburg. Other services link with Miami, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires. There are also excellent connecting flights from North America through Europe.

Other services

In addition, there are South African light aircraft/air taxi companies who can provide charter services both to Lesotho and within a domestic network of 30 local airstrips. Most of these services are in the East and South of Lesotho.
