So we can go ahead and book our flight for Christmas Break? I remember reading somewhere that we couldn’t book it until we knew where we were going to be assigned for the second half of the trip.
We just book it to fly back into Johannesburg?
is the plane ticket that was just bought to go from training camp to johannesburg cost extra money, or is it part of the 6000 dollars i need to raise?
The cost of the trip is $6,950 plus the $1,980 for the plane ticket for a grand total of $8,930.
I didn’t know where to put this so I figured I would post here. What are the chances we would be able to leave the gates at Dulles International? My sister is in D.C. for grad school and I would like to see her before I leave if I can. I know the flight I am on for Atlanta to DC gets there at around 3pm and our next flight leaves before 6pm, so it would be semi-tight, but I’d just want to say goodbye. Long way to ask, would it be possible, upon arriving, to leave the gates for a couple minutes then get back in?
There won’t be enough time between when you arrive and when we need to board the international flight and it would be terrible if you didn’t make it back in time. So, you will probably not be able to see your sis before you leave.
