Two years ago, when I hunted RSA, I spent hours searching on Travelocity, and several other sites, for a good buy. The absolute best price that I could find from Toronto to Jo'Burg, regardless of the route, was over $2700.00. I called my outfitter and they got me seats at $1818.18.When I asked them how they were able to get seats so much cheaper, I was told that it was because they buy blocks of tickets and get a wholesale price. That route was Toronto, to Atlanta to JoBurg.
I found a flight on the internet last night on Lufthansa from Tucson to LAX to Frankfurt to Johannesburg for $1538. I didn't book because I don't know the dates I'm going, or even if its certain I will go again this year.
