A good sale to Johannesburg. Delta has this for about $80 cheaper, however, you will earn significantly less miles flying Delta than British Airways.

If you fly Delta, you will earn 3,700 miles if crediting to their program or 9,165 miles if crediting to Alaska. Flying British Airways and crediting to American would be enough for an ONE-WAY to Europe, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay and Hawaii during off-peak season or anywhere in the US, Caribbean, Central America, Northern South America anytime. That would be worth a lot more than saving $80.

Travel is a long game — unless you only plan to travel once, sometime, spending more money will save even more money down the line. More on our philosophy on why we don’t always buy the cheapest ticket and neither should you.
