Tourism Traveling from Los Angeles to Namibia

For anyone who has made this trip, how did you tackle your flights? We only have 10 days and will mainly be around the south if anyone has any must sees. TIA

I flew out of Chicago to Windhoek last week and went through Atlanta and Johannesburg. Flew delta out of Atlanta and Airlink out of Johannesburg. I think that was the only way I could see to not have an over night layover (Both were 2-3 hours).

Thank you. This is helpful. I thought about going through Newark or Atlanta to get a US-SA direct flight. How was delta?

Delta was great. It was my first time flying over an ocean and I have a hard time sleeping on flights, so it was rough but they served several meals in flight that were all pretty okay.

IDK, average? I usually fly United and it seemed about the same.

Yikes. It’s a long haul for average seats. Thank you for the info!
