Some connection times for non-revs at JNB can be rather lengthy if you'll be going on to/from places like Lusaka, Mauritius or Perth. After the long flight from New York, Paris or Atlana to Johanesburg, you may want to get a day's rest before continuing on.
If so, I heartily recommend the Afton Guest House located in Kempton Park, only a five-minute drive (free courtesy car) from JNB.
Louis Bekker (former SAA employee) and his family offer gracious hospitality in a safe environment. Most of their clientele are repeat
customers consisting of airline employees and American game hunters making connections to other African destinations.
Last I knew there was still a courtesy phone for the Afton at the hotel phone location at terminal two at JNB.
Be sure to let the Bekkers know you are an airline employee.

Just want to share another good lodging find near JNB. I was there in Apr. 02 and having a very difficult time nonrevving out. Both VS and BA were going out 'chocka' night after night. I finaly made it on the third night trying. We found out that the amazing Airport Sun Intercontinental right on the airport offered airline staff 50% off for a 24 hr. stay. At the time it was 470rand for a double. The hotel was amazing. Since the LHR flights don't leave until around 2200, the 24hr. stay was great. We could walk across the road, checkin for the flight and go back to the hotel to relax. I hope they still offer that, I might be going back next March.
