I'd do VS but booking via CO.com doesn't seem to work :( I would like to get 100% EQMs since this could actually bump me to Gold doing a single r/t (and there are two planned).

Are you flying coach or business? If business, I would go with AF.

HA! :D The way I'm reading the contract they wanted to stuff me in a suitcase and fly me over as baggage. We need to teach sales people that it costs money to fly places.

IAH-JNB didn't even come up as an option for me on CO.com just now.

Actually, that's a great idea. It would give you a chance to sample an A340-200, if you haven't already done so (the -200s are somewhat hard to come by).

Yeah, but SA miles are all but useless to me... I'm all about flying new metal but I gotta get my miles worth when I'm being stuffed in the back of a giant tube for work.

TP is *A, not OW. And if you're going to do *A in a premium cabin LH would seem to be the ideal option from USA-Africa. Since it seems like you'll be stuffed in the back I'd go for shortest trip and skip the "fun" parts of the routing.

Postal Employee: "May I help you?"
Kramer: "Yeah, I'd like to cancel my mail."
Postal Employee: "Certainly. How long would you like us to hold it?"
Kramer: "Oh, no, no. I don't think you get me. I want out, permanently."
Newman: "I'll handle this, Violet. Why don't you take your three hour break?
Oh, calm down, everyone. No one's cancelling any mail."
