South African Airways flies from Johannesburg to Dulles, but '[t]he location of the flight's origin was not immediately known.'
They know where the plane came from. They had a flight plan filed.

What they might not know us where the stowaway get on the plane - Johannesburg or Dakar.

Doesn't much matter other than notifying the next of kin and returning the body. Frozen is frozen. The only thing different here is he didn't fall out this time.
Here's the flight last leg

WX on departure was in the 60's, arrival 33.

Yeah but it was probably -50 enroute.
Wondering if he froze in a way that kept him from dislodging. Would he have thawed enough at Dakar to drop out there? If so, then it would be more likely he 'boarded' in Dakar
The stop in Dakar is short, lasting only an hour. Not sure that would be enough time to defrost.
I just flew on this flight 2 weeks ago. Seemed like there was a lot of "security" on the ramp in Dakar, doing hand held wand checks on airport workers before allowing them to approach the plane. Seems like it would be hard for someone to stow away there, but i guess anything is possible.
Maybe some ramp guy collects a fee to help these stowaways get to the plane. The only requirement is that they give back the jackets and IDs before climbing into the gear bay.
He has 100% customer satisfaction. He's never had any complaints from any previous customers. They all depart the airport very happy and very excited about their future. He imagines that many have made it successfully to the promised land at the far side of the ocean.

Kinda brigs a tear to your eye, don't it? On the serious side, I wonder how many never make it to destination. Depending on the individual plane/pilot/airport, gear down at about 5 miles +, some earlier
There are occasional reports of bodies falling out of planes on approach path at airports with arriving planes from certain regions of the world.
It's imaginable that some will go undetected in less developed areas and/or only found after the fact without anyone connecting the dots, or at least (without any ID) not knowing who they are nor where they came from (if they can imagine their celestial path).

Some may not even be found if woods or critters around. You probably won't see it there but if one is lining up on 18 at MEM, you got the big river and surrounding swampland/woods. Florida you got the everglades and the Ocean, lots of places around they'd never be found.
