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?
It's a zoo in Y. I have only flown SAA from JNB so far, and they have a dedicated check-in for business class. I did get stuck once at passport control though (going out!), which took at least 45 minutes. Use the passport control in the middle of the check in counters, it is better than the one on the right behind the SAA business class check-in.
But you should be fine with 2 hours connection time.
