True, that would cut down on any connecting angsts. I noticed some of the ORD-ADD flights have been quite delayed. I didn't see YYZ-ADD-JNB available when I booked the trip, and it was a 772 and not the 788, so YYZ-ORD-ADD-JNB it was.

I've not flown ET before, and a combo of 788/A359 was too good to pass. Their J fares are quite reasonable out of BRU or VIE, actually.

Anyway, got my YF vaccination in Rome for $20.87. Aside from some language difficulties, it was fairly uneventful. Got the certificate and the yellow booklet.

Thanks to all who helped me out with their advice and insight.
