Which airline NYC to J'burg business
Going to South Africa over Christmas holiday. Only have Amex points left and must travel business class (too old to go coach). Flexible dates. So far Air France seems to have best prices. Cheaper from NYC than from Paris to JNB. All you who have done this, please help.

Hi Elainee
Virgin Upper Class reward availability from LHR to JNB is 3,4,5,6,10,11,24,25 Dec. Returns are only displayed upto 25th Dec(open availability). There is normally a blackout period week before Christmas and a week after New Year. Getting reward flights at this period is like finding rocking horse droppings.
Best of luck

I bit the bullet...Just bought ticket to go London, JNB for Christmas/New Year, business class $2699.99 on Air France. Non-stop Paris to JNB. Plus I can change, cancel for $148. We will fly to London, stay overnight, spend a day in Paris and fly that evening to JNB. Most business class is a lot more than this, but special fare over tomorrow.
