Airports near Port Alfred
The first result leads the second by 18 km in a straight line. The order is a straight-line ranking, not a driving time.

Which code to check for Port Alfred
The ranking from this town point is 1. King Phalo Airport (ELS) at 107 km; 2. Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport (PLZ) at 125 km; 3. K. D. Matanzima Airport (UTT) at 282 km.
These distances start at the Port Alfred reference point in the Eastern Cape, not at a hotel, terminal door or pickup bay. A shorter line on the map does not tell you the fare, the flight time or which airport is quicker by road.
Search the ticket as ELS, not as Port Alfred. King Phalo Airport is associated with East London, which is a different name from the town you opened.

How to read the Port Alfred gap
Because the first gap is only 18 km, check the address against both ELS and PLZ before you pay for a transfer. UTT is the third compared airport, and a lower rank alone does not make it the practical choice.
