The first result leads the second by 19 km in a straight line. The order is a straight-line ranking, not a driving time.

Port Shepstone's closest passenger airport in this comparison is Pietermaritzburg Airport (PZB) at 122 km. King Shaka International Airport (DUR) is only 19 km further, so the street address can change which code belongs on the booking.

The source lists flights, but these airports are not in the passenger comparison. Confirm a route with the airline.

Which code to check for Port Shepstone

The ranking from this town point is 1. Pietermaritzburg Airport (PZB) at 122 km; 2. King Shaka International Airport (DUR) at 141 km; 3. K. D. Matanzima Airport (UTT) at 192 km.

These distances start at the Port Shepstone reference point in KwaZulu-Natal, 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 PZB, not as Port Shepstone. Pietermaritzburg Airport is associated with Pietermaritzburg, which is a different name from the town you opened.

What the later Port Shepstone results are for

King Shaka International Airport (DUR) is the second result, in the same province, at 141 km. K. D. Matanzima Airport (UTT) is third at 192 km. Being third in this list is not a claim that the airport is a convenient alternative.

Staying in Margate instead? Open that comparison. Its closest passenger airport is Pietermaritzburg Airport (PZB) at 135 km, not a copy of the Port Shepstone figure.

How to read the Port Shepstone gap

Because the first gap is only 19 km, check the address against both PZB and DUR before you pay for a transfer. UTT is the third compared airport, and a lower rank alone does not make it the practical choice.

Margate Airport (MGH) has flights listed in the airport source, and it sits 17 km from this town point, but it is not in the passenger comparison. Confirm a current route with the airline before you treat it as an option. It is kept off the ranking above on purpose.
