Direct or connecting

How far it really runs
The route covers 3,889 km against 3,776 km in a straight line, a detour of 3 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
Where the change is
Connections are made at Nairobi, Mahébourg. The gap between arriving and leaving is 56 minutes, of which about 5 is walking.
If the connection is missed

Johannesburg is large, and the road in from JNB can take longer than the last hour of the flight. Cars are not our business.

Derived from service area The operators listed publish a service area covering both places. That evidences the corridor rather than a named service.
