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.

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.

Assuming round trip?
