thanks. I did manage to book two J awards for BOS-JNB (xLHR) on BA for this coming April but that was done 300+ days in advance. You are right though, the availability was scarce.
good idea on the HRE and LUN to LHR. May need to go down a notch and use IB for JNB-TLV. How is the service on the IB JNB-MAD?
you read my mind since i was going to ask about SYD-JNB availability. well, i may just have to chance it with the HKG-JNB on CX.
