Since I'm going to a meeting in Capetown, I contacted the event company and asked for the name of the agency doing the travel and tour arrangements. I haven't heard back yet. If I do, I'll contact the agency about ticketing the RTW. If I don't, I'll keep trying to find an agent, or add CPT-JNB and call BA. I feel a case of expatitis coming on. Airbnb Capetown?

I did hear back from Qatar, fascinating in the way totally left field responses can be. It's posted in the second thread below, #108, page 8.

For those interested, here are some recent threads on the subject:
