Well... as if this fare wasn't appealing enough, looks like Emirates will be adding an A380 to its JNB-DXB route.

The YYZ one way is getting pretty close to my threshold for a family vacation fare where I mix award and paid o/w. Just need a bit more USD appreciation I guess ;-)
Edited to add: ouch, no kid discount. I'm getting pretty spoiled with the 25-30% discounts for my 3 little ones on many premium fare. Not to mention they are getting pretty spoiled flying around on planes like this...

I have always wanted to hit the beaches in Mozambique, they look epic. So I'd just get a tourist visa and stay a few days. And as for positioning, look at it as a one way ticket (miles award I would guess) to a vacation, as opposed to purely positioning. If beaches aren't your thing, I can see why these two things would be big speed bumps.

No offence but that's like saying "is Canada safe? last time i went to Miami, i was questioned by the plain clothes police at the airport and they tried to irritate me by saying my name sounded familiar."

Same like asking if the US is safe based on a past experience of being mugged in Mexico.....
Rather naive to comment on one country based on experiences in another.

If someone stays in most unsafe city in world A, person gets used to life there, gets used to surviving. If an alien questions safety regarding visiting A, it shouldn't sound offensive.
