Thanks a lot, both of you. I will call back and enquire about about an SAA leg. My other problem is BA chopping the domestic UK flights to bits, so we will struggle to find business flights down to LHR!

This is quite frustrating for me as I have LHR/JNB/DUR (Comair) in Jan with Avios in J with a cash return (J) same sectors. I had an online chat with an agent a while ago to try and change the cash legs to an alternative domestic connection and he told me that BA only had an agreement in place for CPT connections and would I like to cancel the flight? I said absolutely not thank you as I expect BA to sort this out (I did a screen shot of the transcript.) He told me to try later in the year when BA ‘may ’ have negotiated a solution! So I am waiting until October when I will then phone, firstly to change the inward cash leg and then phone BAEC to change the outward sectors. Not terribly au fait with the ins and outs of all this but they’ve not made it easy for people like me. Could I actually get them to re-route me with QR?
