I'm looking for ways to get there without losing an arm and a leg in the process. I'm sure many others are interested in getting there as well, and award availability will be hard to find.
The goal of this thread is to share low fares to Jo'burg, Cape Town, etc. Tricks may or may not be involved. Simply post the origin and destination (hopefully South Africa, but maybe others if the fare is compelling enough). You may also include stay duration and carrier/alliance. If the thread gets really long, I'll try to keep track of things in this post.
OK, I'll start it off:
Lowest fare:
*A: LON-JNB $619
