I can;t answer your direct question but do know that EK has very good local fares in c and f from africa (Nbo e.g.) to dubai and bangkok. Should be around 1,200 r/t in c from nbo-dxb-bkk with a stopover. You may want to check this option out before using your miles.</font>
I will certainly look but a few things; I need two different tickets (and will probably use each one just o/w) DXB-BKK first and then JNB-DXB. I frequently have noticed how cheap
anything ex-NBO is, but, well, my personal preference is to fly from JNB direct (and avoid NBO)-- for several reasons one of which is that my itin is: JFK-LHR-DXB (DXB-BKK) BKK-HKG-NRT-HKG-AKL-SYD-PER-MEL-SYD-JNB so, I'm gonna' treat myself to a direct flight from JNB, 'specially since I can't earn OW miles JNB-DXB (not gonna' take BA as I am connecting to BA DXB-LHR once I get there.)
Additionally, as far as "saving the miles" well-- suffice to say I've been trying to use these CO miles or 2 years now, and... nevermind, I don't wanna' start any trouble...
