Hey guys, I'm planning to buy a one way from Kigali to Johannesburg next year. Looks like Rwandair has one direct flight a day, and another connecting in LUN. I'm more interested in the connecting flight as it's operated by the A330. I would LOVE to try the business class, and I was wondering if there are any ways to use any sorts of points/miles at the moment. Ultimately the price isn't crazy (around USD630) but since it'll be 2 of us, it adds up.
Those flight are codeshares with SAA, so maybe there could be a way to redeem SAA Voyager points, but I read a bunch of horror stories about SAA awards not being honored. Plus it's not really easy to get SAA points (I have none).
Any advice would be appreciated - and FYI I'm based in the US so I have all the transferrable currencies (Chase, Amex, Citi points).
