Does SA87 count as one flight or two? Obviously if the latter then I will fall foul of the 'only one transit allowed' rule.

Thoughts before I call up please.
One flight number usually means one leg. For example, miles will be calculated on the basis of the DLA-JNB shortest distance and not through LBV. You should be safe.
