I'd jump on a CPT fare but JNB doesn't do much for me.

DEN works too - it's just that most dates are in late Oct and Nov.

But I'm lazy! And also I was on my phone last night and didn't know if I'd remember to look it up.

Thanks bonsaisai. This would be quite the excellent use of a couple GUC for DMs trying to requalify. I couldn't do that long on Y, though.

Fares JNB-CPT are cheap. And BA actually does a nice job on the JNB-CPT-JNB route.
