If you need guest house--Sun Rock is great--near JNB w/shuttle for good price.
Feel free to ask for anything I can add. Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. Our friends have already figured out that DL is gonna be very tough, so I think at this time they are considering our route, PHL-AMS-CPT/JNB on the 15th. They are both US F/A's so PHL-AMS is no problem but I think I've gotten some great info on KLM ZEDs...see posts above/below.

Don't go by seatplans on BA .. they are massively unrepresentative as we preseat only a few of our passengers
The BA 59 on the 18th is in fact overbooked so I wouldn't go that way !!!
Return flights on 25/26th look OK though.

For reference you generally avoid the big UK taxes if you thru ticket through London without a stopover ( >24 hours )

Thanks for the heads up...very helpful..and as my wife(F/A) just found out.

She just worked a PHL-MAN and stopped by the BA counter in PHL before she left on Friday and found out the same thing(they were very helpful), so it's back to the PHL-AMS-CPT route.

17th CPT is overbooked by three with 7 stbys
18th CPT is overbooked by one with five stbys
17th JNB is exactly full with 11 stbys
18th JNB is exactly full with 1 stby

send me a pm if you need more info, good luck.
