If I didn't mind Y for 10 hours or more, I could just do SAA direct to the states, my final destination). Thanks for the advice re JNB. So, it sounds like I will be doing security/passports in JNB. Is that going to be a mad house at 5:00-5:30 with the 7:20 departure of LH 573? Or is the mad house just for check-in?
