To OP: have you checked the fare difference for a connecting flight via KGL? to MBA and DAR are usually their cheapeast options and you drop the last leg of course!
Well KGL is my departure point, not my destination
. I am flying in on KLM from New York via AMS several days prior so I can visit Rwanda, and then I am flying on to South Africa. It's that flight that I need to sort out.
As I said in my initial post, I'd love to try the new business class on the A330 even if it means having a stopover in LUN, and even if the flight is really short.
Ultimately, if there's no option to book that with miles, I might just pay for it outright. It's a bit expensive but not insanely expensive, and it might be a very very long time before I have an opportunity to fly that again!
