Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Availability to MRU is very tough to find, esp at peak season, F seems to be a little easier to come across than J, which only ever seems to be available about a year or so out. Good luck, I was forced to give up on MRU plans last year and went to Tobago instead, managed to snaffle a couple of F seats for March a couple of weeks ago and I'm really looking forward to it.

The stopover thing is annoying when looking for MRU flights, esp when you're booking with an AMEX voucher that does not even allow you to travel on Comain metal. You see the Green block showing availability, select it, then see its routing you via Jo'burg! Not only that but then you need to start the whole process again as opposed to just going back to availability screen. Its deffo one for the BA usability dept.
