2) For that matter, could one use the SA-operated BOM-JNB or HKG-JNB flights in the same way?

3) Is there a table that outlines which continents can be used as transit points? Or are there no limits in this regard?

4) Under what conditions do certain transit points trigger higher mileage requirements?

Thanks,
