A fairly comfortable PE seat though and nice layover in HKG on the outbound, a little too long on the return but OK if you're spending the day in HKG.
I am glad I re-read what you wrote. Thank you so much for pointing out the flaw in my reasoning!!!
I used milecalc.com and wasn't paying attention, entered SFO-HKG-JNB-HKG-SFO into their multi-city tool which would count as a one-way in that configuration even though my intent was to look for a RT as I was playing around with different itineraries in that tool.
/sigh
Thanks again, you saved me from a rude awakening!
