It hurts me to do it, but that's the way it is. No stops. No tight connections. No family squabbles.
Besides, its a once in a lifetime trip, might as well be perfect. For them anyway lol.
good for you and good for them. i would consider this an award success too. if it were me, going to jnb, i'd pay the extra 100k not to go directly and not suffer af's crappy slanty biz class product on such a long flight. they will have a nice flight in biz on atl-jnb. 220k including the domestic legs is a pretty good redemption rate. cash price of such tickets would easily be $10k+ and even in coach would likely be $2k
