British Airways: New York – Johannesburg, South Africa. $981. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

A good sale to Johannesburg. Lufthansa has this fare for about $40 cheaper. However, for most US flyers who would credit their Lufthansa flights with either United or US Airways, the Lufthansa fare to Johannesburg does not earn any miles with United or US Airways. With that in mind, this sale is the better deal because this fare earns 100% with American or BA.
