Do LHR-ZRH-JNB. LX ZRH-JNB decent J cabin. I did it this year ZRH-DAR.
On LX books into D. 150%

ON Turkish, check the class of service bonus. I do not fly TK so have not looked into it.

BTW, P on LH only 100% from JAN 2014 I just discovered.

I will stay with SAA or switch to LX
LX D fare gives 150% EQM for UA MP, whereas SAA D fare only gives 100%.

If I am strictly going for the extra 50% EQM, I'd do LX, if I am curious to try the SAA product I might forfeit the extra EQM.
