Maputo - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?
I traveled from DC to Maputo. The route that seems most common is to transit to Atlanta, then take the 16 hour flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg, then take the one hour flight to Maputo. Obviously, a 16 hour flight is a long trip, but it's not a terrible flight in spite of that. Once you are in Johannesburg, it's pretty easy to get to Maputo, since there are multiple flights between the two cities daily. - Feb 2020
DC is home. There are no ideal itineraries between the US and Maputo. Travel time will range from 24 to 36 hours. The easiest cities to connect through are Joburg, Addis, and Lisbon. - Feb 2019
Maputo to Johannesburg to Atlanta, approximately a 24 hour journey. - Feb 2017
Washington DC. Some fly through Europe (Maputo-Lisbon direct and then onward or Maputo-Joburg-any European city); we prefer the more direct route Maputo-Joburg-DC (there is also a direct Joburg to NY and Joburg to Atlanta). - Jan 2017
California - I found the best way home was to fly through Jo'burg (basically a mandatory stop anytime you leave Maputo) to London and then to LAX. There are also direct flights from Jo'burg to Atlanta, DC, and NYC. - Jul 2014
Los Angeles, CA; 24 - 36 hours depending on route. LA-DC-Jo'burg-Maputo; LA-DC-London-Jo'burg-Maputo; LA-DC-Lisbon-Maputo. - Apr 2014
DC is our home base, and it is a looooong flight to Joburg and then a puddle jumper to Maputo. Or you can go through Lisbon and then straight into Maputo. Either way its a nasty, long flight in coach - Oct 2012
