So, IMHO, the decision comes down to:
- whether you actually want to go to Africa
- whether the two stopovers in continent of origin will be too onerous a constraint
- which is easier to position to, and position from at the end
- No
- No
- Positioning out of BOM to either JNB/CPT or CAI would be equal of a hassle.
Starting in South Africa and finishing in NBO does allow one to eke out the maximum mileage though. Can anyone comment if the following is a valid itin? (Mileagemonkey says it is)
