For Feb 15 - 17, flights to JNB are about $1121 (LAX) / $1100 (SFO) in Economy Delight. They will earn you about 27,000 MQMs and $5500 MQDs.
See if they will allow a stopover in LHR on the outbound or inbound.
Thanks! Maybe I wrote my plans in incorrect format. I need to be in the UK for about 14-16 days. The plan is for departing on or around Feb 12 and returning about 14-16 days later. Maybe I posted in the wrong thread altogether as this is less of a mileage run, as such, and more an attempt to maximize MQD/M return on a needed trip. Just thought those who are best at doing that are the mileage run folks.
