I probably would have done LAX/Kuala Lumpur/Johanessburg on Malaysia Airlines...
and as soon as I got there, I would turn around and leave at once... most dangerous place on earth..... I was stabbed outside my hotel front door within 45 minutes of arrival... I tried to report it to the police station, which was across the street from the hotel, but the hotel staff told me it was too dangerous to walk across the street... to the police station.
Good luck.
