MRU-LHR is not too expensive one way in J if you end up needing to buy a ticket.

That said, we've hedged our bets a bit - we're positioning with an Amex 2-4-1return LHR-MRU,JNB-LHR

The ex-MRU RTW finishes with SYD-JNB which both saves us a segment (and BA fuel tax!) and avoids the JNB-MRU in 'J' which is poor from a scheduling point of view.

If the ZAR continues to tank then we may start again ex-JNB next year but at least we have our returns locked in if we need them!
