EY CAI-JNB J 883 Return
Heading to Zambia next year and need to pass through Jo'burg and found this fare. I'm not sure if this is typical or not, but it looks like a decent fare to me and I do like the Etihad product.
Seems widely available and bookable direct on Etihad's website. Can be found slightly cheaper through OTA's but only 20-30 less. A321 on the regional hop and B787 on the leg down to Jo'burg.
Coming from the UK the toss up is between this and a Swiss flight out of Oslo for around 1,250 but as my wife hasn't been to Egypt I think this would be the preferred option.

Good fare, but for me I would go Qatar as it is suites to JNB and flat bed to DOH in 'First' which get you into the Qatar first lounge due to arrival/departure bucket. I realise its 300 more but for me the tier points and Krug at DOH makes it worth it!

MS778 was mostly rostered on the 787 (which comes with the lie-flat Collins Super Diamond seat) on the Northern Winter schedule. If someone is doing this during NW schedule time they might be able to pull this off.
