I am hoping to book 2 first class or business class tickets from IAD to Cape Town on Sept. 5 or 6, 2011 (if Cape Town is unavailable, then JNB). We will be returning on Sept. 20 from JNB to IAD, which as I understand it, may be too far in advance for reward tickets. We have miles on USAir, and would like to fly either SwissAir or South African Airways. The USAir representative was unable to find us first or business class rewards tickets on Sept. 6; can anyone with more knowledge than me see if there are 1st and/or business tickets available on 9/5/11 or 9/6/11?
Thank you all so much!
Negative, nothing for SA leaving from IAD or JFK on 5 & 6 September. LX does not fly from IAD (UA has no availability on its IAD-ZRH flight either), and the flight from ZRH only goes to JNB, so you'll have to make a couple of connections if you want to take LX. that being said, there is also no availability in C or F on the ZRH-JNB flight on 5 & 6 SEP. Sorry, keep trying though!
