From past experience, flying West Coast USA to South Africa via Qatar and Doha is a long way out of the way; even with a terrific Business Class and Lounge in DOH. It felt like at least 5-8 hours of additional travel versus connecting in Europe . . . If you're connecting on Emirates, it may not make much difference, but compared to a connection point in Europe, it is much longer.
