How to actually buy the ticket in MRU

Many Thanks

MRU is probably the cheapest place to start an AONEx, but CMB may prove cheaper for a DONEx when official pricing is known. (See this thread for more info, though some of the info there is dubious, at best.) You will probably also save one continent starting in CMB, and avoid the issue of difficult D availability on the QF JNB<>SYD flights, should you be thinking of using that route. (Personally, I expect still to opt for an ex-MRU, but to go for an AONE5.)
