We have transited through JNB a number of times. The domestic terminal is next door and all very easy to navigate. When we last flew to Capetown I chose to stay overnight in JNB and used the City Lodge Hotel at about a third of the price of intercontinental but still easy walking distance...

Experience & lesson learned in getting a DONE4 ex JNB ticketed with Australian CC Experience and lessons learned in getting a DONE 4 ex JNB ticketed I created an itinerary ex JNB using the oneworld planning tool - Business class for 2 pax JNB x LHR - MRS x LHR - DUB - CLT x DFW - PHX - STL...

I can confirm that I now have an electronic ticket and my Aus credit card was used successfully to pay for a DONE4 ex Joburg (16 sector RTW business class) issued by British Airways at a cost less than half of that ex Australia. i learnt a number of things that will smooth the process next time...

Progress ... My question answered i rang again and this time have been able to confirm that the Indian Call centre can definitely take the payment in rand. So I have answered my own question. Just need to wait for a few hours now while they confirm the online fare etc. I have been in this loop...

Thanks for your reply - I am happy to provide credit card details anyway But that is not the issue. The problem is that the Indian BA agent cannot enter the details as the payment screen is not coming up for him. in the past I have always been able to get onto an agent in South Africa and...

Thanks to lessons learned from this wonderful forum I have recently booked my 6th DONE4 ex Joburg. This year I am having difficulty getting BA to be able to take my credit card details. i am ringing the BA South African office phone number listed on their website 27 10 344 0130 choosing option...

Thanks very much for the prompt reply.

My daughter, husband and two littlies are arriving from Bali on Air Asia today, flight arriving 6 hours late now at approx 5pm. They have a booking on Tiger to Melbourne at 7.45pm. Hopefully will clear customs quickly but how do they get from T1 to T2? And how long does it take? I can't seem...

Have learnt so much from this forum, accrued more status points and saved money so time to acknowledge that support by joining. Went to pay my subscription and PayPal appeared as the only method of payment. Not having or wanting a PayPal account wondered if there is any other way of...

I have a new DONE 4 starting in JNB leaving at 19.20 JNB - LHR x ATH (1.55 hour stopover, both BA) I am about to change the dates on a nearly completed DONE 5 to get me back to JNB flying MEL-HKG x JNB (1.55 hour stopover, both Cathay) arriving at 7.30 am in JNB. There would be nearly 12...

This last post got me thinking. Generally I like to visit most places for at least a day or two and thought there would be none that I had not at least visited once but after reading post above realised that when I was working in the Pacific and SE Asia there were lots of airports where I...

We did the tax free buy sell deal last year. Picked up a brand new Renault, fully insured, with GPS etc at Orly. Had it for 31 days. You only pay the price differential when you collect it. only open to international visitors. used Car Lease Europe, Renault Eurodrive, Car Hire Europe, Car...

To summarise many posts re Booking ex jnb I think now it is clear that previous methods of booking with AA in SA are no longer valid. There are 2 options to book ex SA 1. The cheapest. Plan your trip with rtw tool. Ring AA rtw desk in Dallas. Book your ticket. Then ring AA in SA to pay. 2...

Will be interested to know if this process still works for you. My phone call and email to AA in SA said they were no longer doing *ONE bookings as I had previously done last year hence my comments above and desire to find most efficient and economic way. My DONE4 booking from JNB that I made...

Serfy I am still a bit confused. if you ring and book online with AA that is certainly the case. Like you my last year's ticket was issued by AA and booked with AA in SA yet had first flight with BA. Given SA no longer take bookings I followed AA in SA's instructions to make the booking...

I had also thought the first international carrier was the ticketer, i.e. BA. However the South African (SA) AA office when telling me to book online and queried on this fact, told me it was the first carrier over the ocean. They were in fact incorrect as I specifically booked an AA flight...

Hi Skyring I am also in the midst of making a booking. Will be interested in how it goes getting your QF number onto booking. I rang AA in Cape town on Friday night. They told me they no longer did reservations themselves by phone but that I should make the booking online and ring them back...

In answer to travelerqff: The base price from South Africa for DONE 4 being quoted is 48000zar which is equal to AUD 5125. This is before charges and taxes. These obviously can vary depending on routing and carriers chosen and I expect mine to add on a bit over a AUD 1200. Last time I paid a...

Thanks for the info. Sky scanner is perfect for my needs.

I want to book some additional side trips (flights) in Scandinavia to supplement my Rtw ticket. Under google search it seems like a zillion flight search engines come up. Can anyone recommend a good one to use. I will be paying with an Australian credit card. Ideally I would like to book a...
