Thanks, thanks and thanks! That was actually gonna be my 3rd question; -is- one can get the on-line tool to book-- and keep it super simple whist doing so-- -it- it actually possible to ticket in that way at the current ex-JNB/CPT exchange-rate-impacted prices? I'd certainly -prefer- to fly QR than BA, but, if it's the difference between a ton of aggravation vs. not, can easily make the adjustment.
Is it the case that the ticket can then easily be entirely reworked by AA ATW desk as it used to be-- or is there some limitation and/or difficulty now in doing that. (Aside from Sara Mills not being there any more!)

Is that to say that if one -did- have a South African friend that was more than happy to use their credit card for payment, problem is instantly solved and one could us AA ATW desk?

Mine were more like $4000 a piece-- now I feel ripped off
