If I call SAA in the morning, will they be leniant with me? Any suggestions? What can I do, or am I at a loss?

Thanks for any help... must run now!!!
A lot of the special fares on SAA web are restricted to the domestic market. I have been lucky in the past with a leniet agent, but I had to fax them my CC details and was told that this was a one-time favour... Most of the time the offers will not work with a foreign CC.
Have you tried to access the SAA website for your region to see if the fare is available there too?

klulula.com is an accquired taste
