How much did you get Joburg-Sydney for btw? When I looked Durban was much cheaper: £1300, versus at least £1700 from everywhere else (bar the occasional flight from Egypt that was ~£1600).
JNB-SYD was 1900€ (but it's Z-class) - my flight from GRU lands at around 12:30 and the JNB-IST flight departs at 17:55 - too tight for my taste to position to DUR.
When are you going? I am flying JNB-IST on Oct 17.
