FCO-JNB Y to W 120EUR, Y to J 350 EUR.
Same prices for the return.

TLV-FCO offer seems ridiculously high for an empty middle seat.
Long-haul seems like a good price for both W and J. Very tempted to bid just a bit over the minimum since the flight seems really empty anyway so worst case scenario I will probably have a row of Y seats all for myself.

Anyone noticed how empty the flights to JNB seem to be?
I was just jumping on to point out the insanity of 165 euro from TLV-FCO as well. Insanity.

I was thinking it would be 50 based on the long haul options.
