    Hi all!

    Has anyone flown to Cape Town on British Airways using a Zed fare? My friend and I will be doing that in April. Our first trip to South Africa. I'm nervous about the Zed fare because I have no back-up plan (or rather, no back-up plane). I work for American Airlines, and my friend is my Registered Companion, which limits our airline choices. Anybody have any suggestions, in case Plan A falls apart? Thanks!

    what about AF to CDG or LH to FRA?
    BA flies JNB, and elsewhere as opposed to CPT options
    Jacy--did you do your homework? (sorry I couldn't resist!!)
    what about the train (seat61.com) to JNB?

    My registered companion can't fly at a discounted rate on Air France. I don't even know if I can, they're not in our alliance group.

    I also found afriqiyah.com for flights within SA, if that helps, too
    Can your companion fly LH?
    like the new avatar--so mysterious

    No, my registered companion can't fly on Lufthansa, unfortunately. Trust me, I've done my homework. I was just hoping I missed something.

    We will use JNB as a back-up in case we can't go directly to CPT. I think that's our only other option.

    It’s the wiser choice.

    Don’t forget to arrive early at Cape Town airport. It’s a bit messy for the non rev PAX...but I think you guys will be alright.

    Enjoy the city. Beautiful…!
