Hi!
I am planning a trip to SA March/April 2012 and have enough airmiles to fly UC (yippee! - so excited already!)

I know i won't be able to book anything till April / May this year but in the interest of planning the itinerary, i took a look at avaialabilty on the VA website.

LHR to CPT UC is wide open but returning from JNB there is nothing showing. Round trip LHR to JNB also has nothing. Is JNB one of those destinations that has very few, if any, reward flights?

Need to know this has has a massive impact on our itinerary plans.

Thanks so much for your help

I managed to get three reward tickets in UC last year for JNB but for some of it, it was a waiting game and it was a question of checking daily, even several times a day for the last one. I had been trying from October to February for a trip in March. The first two were easy enough though

Many thanks.
Might be safest to plan our trip round a return flight to CPT.

All the best.

Jo'burg can definitely be a pain, and with many flights between the two, I'd grab CPT and feel smug!
