At last - Gerard's flight is booked for his December trip home to see Chandler!
*happy dance*
After searching for days, we finally found a reasonably priced flight that actually had seats available! At one stage we both hit rock bottom, thinking that we could afford to go home but that there would not be space on any planes for either of us. Now we know, Gerard has a seat!
Perseverance is all that counts - try, try and try again. And when all else fails, with a little word or 2 to the Big Man upstairs, keep trying!
We scoured the websites, trying every route possible. Qatar Airways flies direct from Doha into OR Tambo Airport, but alas, they were leaving a day too early and coming back on 31 December - not good enough!
FINALLY! E-bookers - a website neither of us has ever heard of, had a flight for Gerard. The flight's departure and arrival was perfect timing for school. One Huge draw back though - Gerard would be in transit for 30 hours on the way to SA! *sheesh*
Tough luck - we have chosen to take it. Rather take what we know, than stand the risk of not getting a flight at all.
So, Emirates & BA, fly well on 18 & 19 December - you have Gerard Victor on board! *cheeky wink*
