[quote=Anonymous]I think go for Emirates. Haven't flown them myself b/c we have to fly US carriers for work, but I've heard great things about them. There used to be a DC-Amsterdam-Lusaka route, but I don't believe KLM does direct Amsterdam-Lusaka any more. You can do Delta, United, or South African to Joburg via many departure cities in the US, and then South African to Lusaka. I've done the Delta flight from Atlanta to Joburg (direct, ~15 hrs) several times. It's kind of ridiculous. A LOT of hunters.

I do NOT enjoy the flights that go to Joburg with a stop for refueling in West Africa. You have to fully wake up, buckle up for landing/take off, hang out for the refueling, hold your bags on your lap while people get off and on again, etc. Sometimes there's a weird spraying thing the flight attendants do. One time they couldn't take off again after refueling, but that happened to my boss, not me, so I'm not sure of the details other than they suddenly had to find lodging in Dakar. [/quote]
