Does anyone know if a quick turnaround at CPT is possible? I am scheduled to fly back on the same plane which leaves approx 1 hour after arrival in CPT. Obviously I won't have checked luggage, but do I have to clear customs & immigration, or can I just go back up to the departure area? Have never been to CPT before.

Interesting read of the ET BKK YYZ fare that is being unilaterally cancelled. Curious comparison with this fare, where nothing of the sort has occurred.

Kinda seems like everything ex-OSL over the years has been honored (BA, *A, ET etc). Probably because it's not that many tickets sold (awkward positioning), or because of some customer rights thing, but that's really just guessing.

Any further reports on flyers taking trip? I booked this fare for later this year but haven't bought positioning flights or hotels yet.

Yes, several reports on norwegian forums of pax completing their trips.
No issues (except for cockroaches in the cabin ).

cockroaches? So United has scorpions and Ethiopia has cockroaches, is there some animal zoo sponsored by *A?

I have done one of these to Cape Town, and know several others who have flown on this deal. Actually I have heard of no-one with any issues, so I am confident for my next trip.

No issues whatsoever during easter. OSL-ARN-ADD was filled to the brim, with at least three individuals (myself included) flying on this deal.

Are you posting the miles to A3? I can't remember what the fare code is, but are you getting the miles to post ok?

Fare code is C, should be 200% miles flown on A3.

Has anyone been successful at getting off at ARN when returning from SA? (I mean to do ADD-ARN rather than ADD-ARN-OSL)

Do you get miles/points for OSL-ARN-ADD - or just OSL-ADD?

Mine posted quickly and in full, without any interaction from me.

You'll get miles for OSL-ADD. A3 credited it as 5,032 miles, YMMV based on program specific rules for mileage calculation.
