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.
IB on MAD-JNB in J is fine. Good seats actually. Never done the route in Y. The biggest problem that I have with these flights are that they leave late from MAD which I don't like and they arrive in JNB too late to catch the connection flight that I like to take.
SYD-JNB seems harder to book than LAX-SYD which we already know is almost impossible.
Don't count on getting the CX flight.
