A new baggage rule is in effect at Johannesburg International Airport. Only "regular-shaped" bags with least one flat surface may be checked in. Round or irregularly shaped bags, or bags with long straps, are not allowed. Safari duffel bags qualify as acceptable and their straps can be concealed within the bag, if necessary.
