Mauritius is somewhere we would have gone during the next few years anyway, so it's ideal to start there and the more I think of JNB, the more I prefer MRU.
Our planned itinerary is:
September MRU - LHR 1 segment in BA First
November LHR - DXB - LHR 2 segments in BA First
Xmas LHR - DFW - MBJ - JFK 3 segments, one in BA First
February JFK - BGI - JFK 2 segments
March JFK - BDA - JFK 2 segments
Easter JFK - HKG - NRT - SIN - HKG 4 segments in CX/JL First
May HKG - JNB - MRU 2 segments, one in CX First
Completely agree about JNB, so my AONE5 is CPT-based, ending up in DAR. (It could have been First to NBO, but I've always wanted to go to Zanzibar...) On the one visit I had to CPT on a work itinerary, I was really impressed, hence the return as a tourist. If you haven't been, you might also want to go there in the next few years. Perhaps for your next RTW.
Not sure that you need xONE
5 for your itinerary, as you have no Australasian (SWP) segments. AONE4 should do it. (Africa - Europe - N.America - Asia - Africa)
