There’s been a 7hr itinerary change, which leaves me with a very inconvenient layover in JNB. I’d much rather pay for my own flight on an alternate airline to JNB and continue with my itinerary.
I am assuming your flight ex JNB is on UA. If so this is not an unreasonable request. You can also ask UA to put you on an earlier flight, if you can find the routing you like on united.com you should be able to ask for it. You could also ask to see if it would be possible to fly via CPT if you can find a short connection time
