Airfare rates

Ridge Runner said:
Qatar airlines from DC to Doho to JNB with extras, and Airlink from JNB to East London and return is around $3500.00USD +/-$500.00USD. I'll know for sure the total cost after I talk with Gracie Travel at the SCI Convention in a couple of weeks.

On the long haul from DC to Doha I'm a bit excited and tired It's been a very long 24 hours for me so when we are in the air, I can relax with a movie, check last minute emails and respond accordingly, check this forum on Lastest Post, track flight path with ETA and catch up on sleep.

Arrival / Depart Doha is just another day arrive early in the morning at JNB has little actually no effect, ie jet lag.

If your flying business, I think you might be for some sticker shock when you look at current fare for this summer.

Tickets and seats are already paid for. It's those nuisance add-ons: ie firearm fees, trip insurance,
I depart 27 April, return 06 June.
 
Emirates, IAD, Dubai, JNB business RT $6865
 
Delta comfort plus bulkhead aisle $2250 refundable for Sept 6-18. When I first started looking in Dec premium select was $3200. When I finalized my safari dates it had jumped to $6000 . Totally crazy. I have flight tracker turned on.
 
$65[emoji646][emoji646] in August on Emirates for Business Class

Delta from So Dakota to Joburg, premium economy 3800.00 for April 4 to 15th . add on for Delta one offered for 3200.00
 
I'm looking...have an August hunt. Has anyone flew through Doha and used a longer layover to sight-see? If I fly in at 5:00 PM on Saturday, the flight to Johannesburg doesn't leave until 2:00 AM Sunday.

We had an 8 hour layover in Doha and also had access to their lounge. Can’t remember the name of it now but was able to take a shower, rest and eat some good food.
The terminal was also like a mall with some great shops and things to look at. I never even thought about leaving the airport or if it would have been safe to do so.
Here are a couple of photos I
Took of the “mall” type atmosphere.

Qatar sells a city tour which I will take this time as my layover in Doha will have adequate time for the tour. On my return getting a hotel room.

This was all over the place nearly daily when I was looking at flights last year but I’ll play.

1. PHX- JNB (ended up with PHX- LHR- JNB)
2. British Airways. They just plain had the best prices.
3. Economy class
4. $6863.80 total for Family of four. So $1715.95 per person after taxes and all the other stuff.

I guess. Just like everything else.
 
The biggest screwing I’ve witnessed is the miles exchange. How far you could go for what. It used to be fairly decent. Now, if it is international or business class it is ridiculous. Like crazy!
 
this is stupid, just got an update, and I can't believe someone would pay this, now they want 8700.00 to go from Premium Eco to Delta One
 
2 years ago I flew Lufthansa business class Seattle to Joberg and it was $3200 R/T. Now they want $7100! I can't believe how much it has gone up. Anyone in the Seattle area, I found that it's $1000 to $1500 R/T cheaper to drive up to Vancouver BC. Looking at British Air Business class, $5400 out of seattle and $3700 out of Vancouver (July/Aug flight).
 
yup. Airfare is up across the board these days. Vancouver is temping unless traveling with a firearm.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
