West Cost to JNB?
OK, I have a trip to JNB in July. My company pays for C and I'll from the west coast. What is the best airline to fly in getting there? There are seve5ral choices and have only flow LH. Any suggestions?

The best way is BA to LHR and on to JNB ... beds in J on both legs, plus massage at LHR between flights. VS offers similar. Nobody else comes close unless you fly LH in F.

Another option is Qantas via Sydney. LAX-SYD-JNB is a rather nice routing and not that much longer, plus you could stopover in Australia. I've actually done this once and it is only about 7 hours longer than LAX-ATL-JNB and much more pleasant.
