Tips on prices for EY flights
Hello everyone. (Potential) newbie on EY here. I am planning on traveling to South Africa sometime in about 8 months. I am looking at several possible itineraries to JNB. Potential departure points are CPH, MXP, FCO, ARN, BRU, BCN.
What would you consider to be a good price for these routes in J? Two days ago I had seen some r/t fares for EUR 1,750 or so. I didn't buy anything as I wanted to do some further research (also for positioning flights), but now can only find fares around the EUR 1,950-2,100 mark.
I am hoping the fares will return to the 1,750 mark, though 1,950 would also be ok. (Do EY prices tend to go up over the weekend or is it just wishful thinking?)
Thank you.

I know the transfer in AUH is rather long, but it seems to be the best value for money of all the J fares I’ve found.
