Their standard business hours do not overlap on the same day, with the smallest gap running 1 hour between Queenstown closing at 17:00 local and Johannesburg opening at 08:00 local. Practical bridging slots: an early Johannesburg start at 07:00 (catching Queenstown just at close, 17:00), or a late Queenstown call at 18:00 (catching Johannesburg at opening, 08:00).
