Apparently, in Johannesburg they have a kosher Nando's.
You very rarely see kosher branches of most chain places (except Kosher McDonalds in Israel) so it's kind of funny that there's one in Jo'burg, of all places. (Which does have a decent sized Jewish community, but it's no New York.)

Lowest fare I saw on Expedia yesterday was £448, KLM via Amsterdam, which would be OK (though Virgin is still first choice, we love our airmiles).
I would do KLM, Air France, or Lufthansa if it were THAT much cheaper, but definitely not Emirates no matter what Bob says--it's 18 bloody hours! (Aside from my political objections...)

3h at Heathrow is no problem, at least in the long-haul terminals--loads to do, at least at T3 and T4. No idea how Schipol is, but it says if you've got over 4h you can go into Amsterdam as it's only 20 mins. You'd have to allow a decent amount of time anyway, because of going through immigration (at least, _I_ do, I have to clear it even to transfer :/) And there wouldn't be a wait at Heathrow because it's a European flight.
Wondering about how much it would be to book only the Amsterdam/Paris/Frankfurt-JNB portion, and find a cheapo European flight. The taxes at LHR are horrendous.
Of course, you're talking to the Lazy Ones, watch us say "fuck it, we'll pay an extra £100 and get a nonstop flight" :)

I think the one in Mevasseret Zion is kosher. Most McDonalds in Israel are treif but according to the McD's Israel website, there are 14 kosher branches.
