I have to go to Joburg from LHR on business the week after next, in

economy
unfortunately. As I see it I have the choice of South African,Virgin,

and
BA. All are offering roughly the same price.

Which one should I choose?

Any advice gratefully received.


Which FF miles would be most useful to you ?
Do you have status with anyone - if so there should be a better chance

of
a
free upgrade.

BA vs VS - VS wins everytime (although a few of their planes have

slightly
less legroom than BA). - Especially as the BA pilots are threatening a
strike.




I have 90,000 miles and 340 tier points with BA, a few with Virgin and

none
with SAA.


With that many tier points you must at least silver level and entitled to
use the lounges ?

Unless, you could do with a VS flight to keep the 'few' alive for another 3
years...
