[PREM FARE GONE] Canada-S.Africa in J from 1,825 USD, *A and ST
Canada-S.Africa in J from 1,845 USD, *A and ST. Just play with it and the dates, there are a lot of options. For OW there are some Qatar options and some weird BA combos that seem unbookable.

Big THANK YOU for this.
I woke up @ 04:30 am to go to the bathroom and pulled up my tablet while sitting on the toilet, saw your post.
Already I had a British Airways flight booked June-August Business class using 2-4-i cert and 225,000 of my Avios. Fees and taxes on this trip for myself and spouse were $3500 USD, and I would have to fly from Florida to NYC to connect.
With your tip I am paying just $100- more, same price to get to YYZ for us as NYC, BUT the
Bottom line is I get to keep my 225,000K Avios, earn another XXXXX in *A, and still fly J, all for the same amount of money. Bingo!

There have been some threads on this type of fare in the AC forum in the past (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...-now-back.html), though not quite this cheap - more like $2400 or so. Still, that thread is useful in exploring various potential routings.
(We did this last year from YYZ, and it was awesome! There is also discussion in the above thread about some safari, etc. options at various price levels in the discussion in the above thread. FWIW, we did a self-tour for the majority of our time there, and I would highly recommend it.)

This is similar to the fares offered last autumn and I missed them. I did buy one in Jan 2015 through Flight Hub. Only problem I had is one segment was in Y, but that was from JNB to CPT, no big deal but I complained and got a further discount from Flighthub.
Two questions:
I am wondering when these deals will expire? I am looking at one which is all *A for $3045CAN.
Another question how do you know if it is booked on 014 stock as I will need all the AQD I can muster this year to re-qualify for SE status......most of the segments I am looking at are on AC or AC code shares with LH or SAA but with one segment on LH medal.

I believe 04FEB, at least for the DL/AF YYZ-DXB J fare deal, with a ZP7CCA fare basis code. Requires a min. 7 day stay and a 90 day advance purchase.

Out of curiosity I was perusing the LH website through the google fares link above and be careful that one version of these J tickets with LH on the outbound does not accrue any miles, and another version for $10 more it accrues 100%, weird, so be mindful of these and check the booking classes and mileage accrual, if you are interested in the miles.
