I too am planning a surface trip JNB-DOH, in about six weeks time (currently in ZNZ). When will you be doing it Fred?


I doubt the fares ex-WDH are on the airlines' radar screens at the moment. Their focus will be on the ex-MPM fares if what we are hearing is correct (statements like "we must do something about these low fares" and "this is about the 10th ex-MPM fare I've done this week)
However, once they "enhance" the ex-MPM fares, if they then see a spike in ex-WDH fares...
hopefully everyone.who needs a rtw have booked ex mpm. given that ex wdh is probably 5k, and with positioning cost, it will be under radar for a bit...

it is amazing that i booked a done3 last august ex japan, then done4.ex.jnb in jan and then now a.done5 ex mpm... they get cheaper and cheaper..
