xONEx ex MRU
Looking at Mauritius prices, this looks tempting, however I can't get my chosen itin to validate (must be getting rusty on the rules).
Thinking of something along the lines of:
MRU-LHR-THR-LHR-IST-LHR-GRU-SCL-IPC-xSCL-EZE-xLHR-CPT-xLHR-MRU.
As far as I can work out, I come unstuck on passing through LON too many times - even though there's no way to get back to Africa from South America without first passing through London.
Any suggestions for how to fine tune this?

Put in a transpac segment and wait till Comair launches JNB-MRU in the next few weeks - things will be easier.

MRU-LHR-THR-LHR-IST-LHR-GRU-SCL-IPC-SCL-AKL-SYD-JNB-CPT-JNB-MRU
which would fit nicely into an xONE4.

MRU-LHR-THR-LHR-IST-LHR-GRU-SCL-IPC-SCL-AKL-SYD-JNB-CPT-JNB-MRU
which would fit nicely into an xONE4.

I wasn't aware of the new Comair service, so useful to know about. Thanks alot.
