Many travel websites confuse the issue by misdescribing these flights. Ignore them and remember the above.
Yes, but one confusion - even on ba.com

- is that BA flights are described as e.g. 'BA6441 operated by MN'.
Sadly I can't reproduce the online timetable page, but all 12 JNB-CPT flights today are 'operated by MN'. Click on INFO to see 'Operated by
Comair Ltd'. Is that 'misdescribing' by BA? (I have read before that they are not op MN.)
