They also connect to British Airways Comair subsiduary in South Africa and good links to Europe and Bangkok/Hong Kong/Beijing.
This is just a for the hell of it thread to see what others think!
I believe Ethiopian's CEO has indicated they'd like to join *A in the near future. This topic comes up pretty frequently.
