I'm based in London and would like to take advantage of the EX JNB AONEX fare. The online tools reports I have returned to the point of origin. Is there a solution other than a route via Hong Kong? After New York I would like to stop over fro a couple of months in London.
Joburg - Chennai - Singapore - Sydney - Los Angeles - New York - London - Cape Town - Joburg
help..
Welcome to FT!
Here's a valid route for your trip. You'll have to fly outbound via HKG; it's Oneworld's only South Africa - Asia route.
Note that first class may not be available on JNB-HKG as CX doesn't always offer it on that route, so that would limit your segments with "true" first class to only a few of your total. Your trip would be through 5 continents, i.e. an AONE5.
Note this only uses 10 of a maximum of 16 allowed segments, so you could - should you choose - use it for more extensive travel in Australia, North America and/or Europe.
