I wish you the best of luck whatever you choose.
appreciated, my main concerns are less about safety than it has to do with my own tight schedule and not wanting any unnecessary risk of a delay or cancellation. Im sure any plans they to ensure safety would still impact operation for the sake of safety especially given the tight airspace they already have to work with. Id also be pretty busy if i go windhoek to deal with any potential changes and delays, so ive decided to route JNB-LON instead.

Its a shame though, ive tried booking QR before as i want to check it out, last time was right when the blockade noise started, and now this.

Understand, but the posts I was replying to (and the OP) were discussing the routing options, if there are any.
