Avios booking JNB to MAN

I was doing a dummy booking for 4 December 2024 but only the JNB to LHR flights are available, presumably because the LHR to MAN flight departs on the 5th. Do I need to phone to add it when it becomes available as if I book separately it will cost me additional Avios and it won’t be a through ticket.

Book JNB to LHR and then call to add LHR to MAN to the booking when it becomes available. Much harder to get Avios flights for routes to and from South Africa than for domestics, assuming that’s what you are trying to book.

By the time the LHR - MAN flights become available the JNB flights will have gone

Book the long haul then phone to add the domestic when available, never been a problem when I have done it. It’s a frequent issue for those of us who don’t live in London and is well known to the booking teams. You will not be charged a booking change fee
