The carriers to test are SAA, Airlink, Kenya Airways, Emirates and CemAir, and each one can sell a different balance of fare, baggage and timing.

The market pattern is long-haul international itinerary, not a simple shuttle. Domestic names in the data, such as CemAir, should be read as connection feed rather than proof of a nonstop over-border sector.
