This deal seems to be available mostly with Turkish Airlines but there are also some of the routes to NRT on Qatar airways, Air China and British Airways.
For JNB:
It routes through Doha, the JNB-DOH & DOH-JNB legs are on a dreamliner ^
O class fare
Seems it will only get 25% mileage accrual on AA but 100% on LAN. This could be a chance to do some interesting flight nesting with other deals from/to JNB.
Example 10/13-21
Can go from CDG on Air France for $590. Or from BCN for $569 on Air China.

I am struggling to find any 420usd routes/dates.
Your example links to the cheapest option being 666usd. Same price if I search for other dates on the same routing.
What/where is the 420usd coming from?

Try GVA/ZRH/WAW/BUD-NRT on Skyscanner cheapest month or I believe momondo came up a bit cheaper when you know the exact dates to plug in. For example I see GVA-NRT for $444 on TK ex/ 11/19-28 using momondo. It will take you to a cheaptickets.ch site (Switzerland) and end up in 416.27 CHF which is ~$444 USD. I forget which one was exactly $420... late night deal hunting and wine sipping.
