DL/SA: $551 Washington (WAS) to J'burg (JNB) - Jan/Feb
 

Base MQM's under new structure?

Bookable on gotogate.co.uk

MQM earning does not change under new structure. However, the long haul portions of these flights are flown by SAA which will not earn any DL miles (SAA is a Star Alliance member). I see WAS-JNB available from $753 exclusively on DL metal which will earn full MQM's on all flights.

The lowest I can get is $753 either all DL or all SA, not seeing any of the $550ish fares.

The $550 fare apparently involves a partial fuel dump when booking both carriers together.

For United, Y, B, M, K, H, S, Q on SAA earns 100% PQM while T, V, L, W, G earns 50%. Does anybody know what this deal falls under? (Although I can guess...)

Plugged the same SAA flights into ITA; believe it's G (50%).

Provide this information to a travel agent to help them match the fares found.
Make sure to provide the exact booking and fare codes shown.

if only I could use delta certs :(

Just tried to book on the UK version of Momondo (as suggested in the Secret Flying post) - price is adjusted at booking. Has anyone else had any success?

On the hunt for LAX - JRO tickets! JNB would've been good enough :) an excuse for a 2-3 week adventure in East/South Africa!

For the price it'd be a G fare (best guess). Experflyer shows G at US$449 before tax and that fare allows routing via JFK on DL (or a few others). The next higher fare, W is significantly higher.

Still available Feb 1/Feb 15 for 375GBP all in @ site I mentioned up thread.

Google flights is pricing JNB for as low as $475 RT. When you click, however, it price increases.

These phantom fares happen a lot on google flights. Makes it difficult when searching for real flights...

Yes! I got annoyed enough to make a video about it and tweet it to them a few days ago. Still no response...
