Common questions on this route

How long does the flight take?
Typically 14h via Casablanca/Lisbon over roughly 8,104 km.

Do I have to pay the full airfare?
No. The reservation costs from $14.99 rather than the ticketed Johannesburg–Madrid fare, because it is a booking held on the airline's system rather than a purchased seat.
