Emirates serves South Africa with five daily, non-stop flights from Dubai into the three gateways of Johannesburg, the host city for the opening and final matches, Durban and Cape Town. Emirates’ four daily flights from New Zealand to Dubai provide direct connections to the services to all three cities.
