I found YYZ-JNB for as low as CAD $2796.00 which equals USD $2100.00. Not to shabby at all. Big problem is that Seatguru, while not always 100% accurate, shows the flights as being operated by the angled flat 777's. That, is the deal breaker for me.

You can try to do a dummy booking. Whenever I look at KLM or AF ex-YYZ on google flights, it's very inconsistent between angle flat and lie flat.

*A has jumped in! LH YYZ-MUC-JNB $1858

Besides the LH itinerary below for US$1858, I am seeing AC (YYZ-LHR-JNB with an SA codeshare) and LX for around US$2000.

You are right. Just did a dummy booking and it appears that KL is flying their new business class all the way from YYZ to JNB (at least on the dates that I checked).

I didn't think KLM's website showed a seat mapper but yes, it appears as if they are operated by flatbeds on all sectors.

Does anyone know if they are direct aisle access? It doesn't appear by the seat mapper but I guess they could be in a staggered layout?

What dates are you seeing these fares? Cheapest that I am finding is around $4,400 CAD on KLM.

Thanks!

The dummy booking let me assign seats even before entering any identity information. I looked at the seat maps vs the ones on SeatGuru and they matched up with the new business 772 and 744Combi.

The 772 are 2-2-2 so 4 out of 6 have direct aisle access and the 744 new business has 1-2 in the front of the main cabin. I'd personally like to get one of the A seats and be in a solo seat.

1a and 4a on 744 are both the solo seats. I preferred 4a as it felt roomier, but that's very subjective. Both are nice.

All klm routing you get 4 little houses. I might put up with angle flat for that.
