BA mxp-cpt-jfk/lax $640/$698 3.86 CPM

Please let me join today's BA party Low base fares plus low YQ to southern Africa. CPM is 3.86 for itineraries ending in LAX and 3.99 for JFK. It's also available to JNB for 40 bucks less.Comair destinations are more expensive but still a good deal (like WDH at $750 and LVI at $850) .1 free stopover permitted...bookable on BA.com

While the same fare is available to both JNB/CPT on QR it books into O giving only 25% EQM on AA and BA... in case you still want this it is bookable on qatarairways.com (wont show up on ITA)
