Award availability opened today for my return flight JNB-SYD-MEL. Have booked 2 J seats in the upper deck of the Qantas 747.

I have been mainly flying *A in recent years due to better value redemptions, and so will get to sample what Qantas J is currently like.

With the flight home booked, I am now booking the Southern Africa flights. The ones within South Africa were easy, but the Kasane to JNB flight does not present a payment method option, and so the booking cannot be completed. Will have to ring SA tomorrow to see why.

I am largely done and dusted now with the planning phase.
