RTW questions
I had a couple of questions regarding RTW biz tickets, beginning in YYZ.
First, if I am interested in going to JNB on an RTW fare. I was wondering what were some of the best options people had found? Are there any other than Varig, LH or SIA? I was hoping to stop somewhere in the Indian Ocean, but cannot seem to find any carriers that would cover that.
Secondly, would there be a COS bonus in business class, even though it is a RTW fare? Or would be on a carrier-by-carrier basis?

OS serve both Male and Mauritius, but of the two only MLE has connections to elsewhere. Something like VIE-MLE-SIN-JNB would work (or v.v.) pending the rest of the itinerary/trip you want to do. Not a huge detour to do MLE-SIN.
No :-: carriers seem to serve Comoros, Seychelles, Madagascar.

I believe VIE-MLE is one of the "forbidden" flight numbers. At least it was last year when I tried to book it.
Male is an Austrian/Lauda charter destination and cannot be booked as part of a RTW ticket.
