Africa is Now Closer Than Ever: Direct Flights to Africa From The U.S.

Our continent is closer than ever for Americans, with new flights to Africa from the U.S. recently added. For many Americans who've previously ventured to Africa, the continent is not just a distant land but a cherished memory, a place of adventure and discovery. And now, these direct flights from major U.S. cities like New York, Atlanta, and Washington D.C. to Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa, have made revisiting these African dreams more accessible and convenient than ever.
