I just tried to see if I can book an OS segment FRA-JNB there is none (as they are only available with a conjunction to another OS segment)
What if I want to add a stopover in FRA (that should be free) I think Austrian will be forced to use LH flt # and thats easily upgradable with UA GPU.
Has anyone tried that?

A word of warning for anyone who booked this ticket through American Express Travel: I just got charged £2,726.30 for these flights, even though I received a confirmation and eticket with the "correct" £772 price. A couple of hours after I received my eticket, I received an invoice for £2,726.30 (which I did not notice until I saw my credit card statement today).
Ironically, American Express Travel blocked £772 on my card initially. They then cancelled this and just charged the £2,726.
I'm going to have a little word with them tomorrow. Quite interesting that they think they can just charge someone for almost £2,000 I never authorised.

Luckily, there are plenty of consumer protections in the UK for things like this (and before anyone compares this to an airline not honouring fares: this is something very different). I will report back on what American Express Travel have to say for themselves.

Also, for those following above, Amex Travel refunded me £2726 and recharged the original £772.

Are people receiving full credit for this? I have two coming up this month. Also, I arrive in SOF in the morning, but don't leave on this fare until early afternoon. Do flights deplane directly into the terminal building so I can use the Priority Pass lounge while I wait...or do they direct you automatically to the arrivals hall?

I guess I'm the first guinea pig on this ticket, currently waiting in the Sofia lounge. Check-in was seamless at the Airport (couldn't select seat on OS or do OLCI) but BPs issued all the way to JNB.
