VS LAX-JNB in PE for $1424
I've never seen PE this cheap as it usually hovers around $1700RT.
You can credit to DL for 150% of mileage flown, too! Quite a few dates from 2 weeks out until Nov 2017. It's on the 787, too. $1424RT is quite nice! |
Works from SFO, MIA, BOS too. MIA/BOS can be had for even ~$1350.

These fares are still around through Dec 2017.
If you credit to DL it becomes 2.8cpm for the RDMs if you are DM with the 120% bonus. ANd by spending $1424 you actually get 25% of the distance flown credited as EQDs....23,000 miles x.25 = $5,750 EQDS!!!!!! RDMS are a little over 56,000. This is a great way to get closer to the EQD DM threshold! |
Booked LAX-JNB over Thanksgiving weekend for $1414. Now I have 23 hours to determine whether or not it is worth the cost to spend 3 days in JNB. SA has never been very high on my to-do list, but I it is definitely there. And 20 hours in PE sounds a lot better than 20 hours in Y, which is how I normally travel.

Not bad for a short trip. Even better is to rent a car, and spend a week at Kruger National Park. Amazing place to see wildlife in a natural setting. So good that I spent over two weeks there on my last trip to JNB.

Works from SEA, too.

Looks like I will be spending Turkey day weekend in JNB. I am not sure if I should thank or curse the OP. It's a great find, but this is my fourth transoceanic trip planned for the year, and I really need to stay away from this website. It is a very good time to be buying intl airfare, so I may as well exploit it for every hour of vacation time that I have.
Now, I just need to decide which pseudo safari to book. Lion Park looks interesting, but there appear to be a few whole day trips to the nature reserves as well. I arrive Friday morning and leave Sunday night, so time is not my friend (it never is). |
Lounge Access for Skyteam Elite Plus statu?
VX is not a Skyteam member airline, but does have a close partnership with Delta.
Anyone know if Delta flyers with Skyteam elite plus status (a Delta Gold and up), can access a lounge in LHR or JNB? |
