I would have preferred homework today ! :evil:

Left home this morning at 05h15 for the 06h15 Kulula flight, Lanseria - Durban. Drove 3 hours from Durban to Greytown in traffick. Meeting became 2 hours longer and I missed my Kulula 15h15 flight back to Lanseria. Got booked on the DBN - OR Tambo SAA for 19h20. At ORT get taxi to take me to my car which is parked at Lanseria !

Walked into my place at 22h30 :twisted:

Price of a late SAA booking DBN - ORT : R 1 430.00 !!!!!

Kloot piloot, you have to add the cost of the taxi (how much by the way ?) to the SAA ticket price AND (if I am not mistaken) the cost of the Kulula ticket which I think you forfeit.
Expensive missed flight, hope the Greytown business makes up for it!

Amsterdam by the way, if you want to see a coffee shop where you can get high and have blue skies you have to be quick, the goverment wants to close them all down. Same as for the windows already 100 of 300 closed!
