Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
As reported by One Mile at a Time, United Airline’s new non-stop flight between Newark and Johannesburg, South Africa begins March 27th, and business class awards are widely available in the summer of 2021.

Each of the days that show 70K are available at United Saver levels. This means that you can book these flights for even fewer miles with some partner airlines. For example, via ANA (which transfer from Amex Membership Rewards), you can book this flight round-trip for only 104,000 miles (compared to 150K miles via United):

Thats wonderful but there’s a reason for this, first it’s a new flight and just put on the schedule then most importantly who’s going to fly to SA? I say this as someone that travels there or use to at least once to twice a year and almost moved to Camps Bay. I do agree the flight is welcomed lets see how all this shakes out.
