Thank you, Im going to definitely try and go back bvia JFK. Currently getting to Europe is proving to be a mondon problem due to lack of D class availability.

But others have posted that availability is D9 on CPT-LHR for 4 consecutive days around your preferred date....is it not really available (and the D9 is a lie), or you just don't want to fly CPT-LHR?

Ah, I prefer to fly JNB-LHR its a night flight. I was offered IB but would rather eat rancid tuna salad.

If I take the IB jnb-mad-jfk so I need to go to IB to book the ticket or is it booked through BA? That is something I cant figure out.

Going via cape town is a day flight, and I the friend im staying with at yale is writing an exam on the 15th of dec, and I dont want to arrive there too late on the 15th as time is short, if I arrive on the 14th then gotta find a hotel. Hence the preferance to go out of JNB. Travel agent keeps crying no seats, I keep saying CPT, CPT.

If I catch the day flight cpt-lhr, I can then can then catch a 20:15pm flight to new york, arriving 22:50pm in New York then I have a 1.5 hour train journey to new haven. Thats the problem.

The problem with departing out of CPT, Is the D class fares are day flights and a flight from JNB doesnt get into CPT before the departure date which means I then have to spend a night at relatives or in a hotel.

However if I gotta go via cape town, I gotta go via cape town.

Thank you gentleman very much.

My travel agent has managed to get me out of JNB-LHR in club on the 13th of dec and on the 14th to new york. what a beautiful thing. New York here I come.

Thanks again guys.
