When checking various starting locations, both Japan and Cairo Egypt seem to have the cheapest costs, with Cairo being significantly less. I know there was a currency devaluation on Egypt and wonder if the costs associated with a ex-CAI are to be believed. Pre-positioning to Cairo would not be an issue for me as we are hoping to travel to both JNB and CPT this year. We would likely break the trip into three pieces wit non-rev flights home and back to pick up the trip after several months at home. Appreciate any insight on my cost question as well as any other advice. The wiki is extremely informative but seems to have little in the way of what is happening in the last 2 years. Cheers and Happy Travels
