I was not asked to choose flights, don't see anywhere to do so before completing itin. It says my itin is unfinished, and when I push the finish button, it takes me to CPT from DAR and says I have too many segments. I'd love to omit DAR and just go to CPT, but I know that's against the rules as I recall them. Obviously, my last London transit will be the short stop, and I don't see any other problems. Any hints?
Your intinerary does have a problem. It does not comply with the new rules regarding a second visit to Europe, because it includes South Africa
Rule 3.2.1 states
One of the visits to Europe must be a
transfer without stopover between Africa
and the previous/next continent.
Travel may not include Mauritius/South Africa
Also BA no longer flies LHR-DAR (closest destinations to Sth Africa are LAD and NBO)
