A little basic research goes a long way.
CPT airport
website.
BA have two daily non-stops CPT-LHR, and VS has one.
You can also take BA, VS and SA non-stop from JNB-LHR.
All offer lie-flat seats and very good in-flight service.
If you want to connect in FRA, you can take LH.
Likewise for ZRH, take LX.
You can also go via the Gulf, but that significantly adds to the journey time.
Yes, I can also find which airlines fly out of cape town. My question is, do all the planes in the fleet have the same facilities? For example, Qatar brag about their business class on the dreamliner, but I highly doubt the dreamliner is flying out of Cape Town yet. Another time, Emirates had lovely business class seats on one flight, but that was because they were busy refurbishing the fleet - they weren't available on all the planes.
So: if I research, say, KLM, and find that they have lie-flat seats, will they necessarily have lie-flat seats on every plane in their fleet that flies internationally?
