I saw those fares and that was one of the things that made me so surprised about the lofty nature of the BA fares. I would prefer to travel with BA but fortunately I can hold off booking for a while to see whether A class comes up for September, or if JNB is yet another long route to sadly lose F (HKG how I miss thee).
