Qatar or South African in J Class ??
I am travelling Montreal - Johannesburg in Business Class in October and both Qatar and SAA have similar fares. Qatar's service is on a 77L via Doha while SAA routes you through JFK or IAD on a 346. I have flown neither carrier - can someone recommend which one is a better experience ? Please include links to TR if possible.

QR hands down!
I too had to be in CPT in Sept. And have chosen to fly IAH-DOH-CPT. Much better hard product and better F&B.
And do you really want to transit through JFK?

Trip is booked on Qatar
Thank you for the feedback. SAA's routing thru IAD makes a stop in Dakar, Senegal that they don't disclose until booking. Qatar is also getting raves here in Montreal.

As noted this is not a trip report. Moving to Other Middle East and Africa Frequent Flyer Programs forum.
