This was all in j but I wanted the Xmas dxb to man flight in f. It would not ,et me do this and bumped the Cape Town dxb leg to f as well. Not sure a340 f is worth it either. The j flights are 2k gbp but the additional cost of f was another 1500 so not worth it.
On another note why is dxb sin 13k odd dirhams in j but only 15k in f so 2 thousand dirhams difference? Emirates pricing is a mystery!
exc tax
MAN-JNB/CPT round trip , GBP1658-1858 O class , GBP5238 A class
Doing one way O class, the other A would be (1558+5238)/2 = GBP3398
Minus the GBP1558 already paid leaves GBP1540-1740 extra to pay
To to just the final leg in 1st would require 3 x 1 way fares ( or paying for 1st class the whol of the return trip and just doing a voluntary downgrade to business - which would be silly )
Buying 3 x one way fares will cost more than just upgrading the whole ZA-UK journey
