What is the best way to fly to South Africa from the USA.
Would the route Atlanta to Cape Town and Cape Town to SID SID to Atlanta be a malaria free route vs JFK to JNB JNB to Dakar Dakar to JFK .. I guess that SID is Malaria free area and Dakar Sengal is not ?? Do the airlines care ???

Dakar is not malaria free, but your chances of getting malaria on that
flight are extremely small. The inbound flight flight lands at Dakar at about 6am, and departs about an hour later. The cabin is sprayed shortlybefore take-off and the outbound flight lands at Dakar at about 2am. If you're really paranoid about the malaria, use an insect repellant on you exposed skin while you're on the ground in Dakar. Where is SID?
