VFA-CPT Help
I’d like to book VFA-CPT on 25 July 2018. It appears that only Full Fare Y is showing as available on SA 8691 (only nonstop). Will this open up closer to booking?
On the other hand, I could also book an award flight thru JNB, I have plenty of AA,DL,UA,UR miles that I can use.
Finally, is their any chance I could add it to my TATL flights at a lower cost. My TATL flights are in J but it appears to be Y only on this flight.
Any suggestions are welcome.

You can always ask, but my recent experience booking TATL was that adding an intra-africa leg (JNB-LVI and CPT-JNB) to the beginning/end of those flights didn't increase cost (or was very small), but an internal one-way in the middle (Maun-Capetown) was the same added cost either with those tickets or separately.
