I was looking at ex-JNB/WDH DONE4s before the prices went up. When the MPM fares were a hot topic I was unable to book until about 24 hours after they were pulled. I've been to Mozambique before and swore I'd never set foot there again, but I'd make an exception for a decent saving, which, IIRC, no longer exists.

As I'd need to break the trip in the middle with an embedded segment to LHR, the cost of this might render a TYO start better value. Basically, it's complicated, and a fares table would help greatly, even if there's some variation with taxes.
Picking three carriers at random (BA, AA and UL), here are the fares they publish on JNB-JNB.

I have picked three to emphasize that they should all be publishing identical fares. In reality a fares tariff with just one publisher is easier to read. [Note though that AA does not participate in the -WC3 fares.]
