I'd say good news for those trying to avoid BA YQ.

I am currently working on an LONE6
If I start CPT-(BA)-LHR-(AA)-MIA... then the all-in cost of my itinerary is ZAR49,244
If I start JNB-(IB)-MAD-(AA)-MIA... then the all-in cost falls to ZAR48,891
So a difference of just ZAR353 which in the scheme of things is hardly worth bothering about.
