🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from Quthing town, but there is no reliable public transport at the field, so pre-book a taxi, hotel transfer, or private car. From Maseru, the road journey takes several hours through mountain terrain; allow extra time and check conditions, especially in the rainy or winter season.
