Trying to book my flights to the world cup, had some good prices and was about to book when the page auto-updates and my flights went up by over £300. So I tried a couple of other places, same story, everything went up by at least £200 in the space of a couple of hours. The robbing twats want £1000 to fly return to Durban, any other month it is £500 or less. :(

Can you fly to a nearby country and get a connecting flight or travel over land/sea for the rest of the journey for less?

Been trying that but no luck so far. Tried Ireland, France, Scotland and Germany up to now. :( Any ideas?

What about a boat down past the Somali coast? Surely can't be bumping prices for that :)

Really pissed off now, even flying with Rwandan Airways who's planes have an uncanny knack of crashing it is still going to cost me £1000.

Fuck it, if I can't find anything under £800 return then I will go later in the year and just wait for the 2018 World Cup in God's own country of England.

Not from Manchester after 1st October sadly (Ryanair no longer flying from here) and even then the flights from Rub-a-dub are pushing £550 each way making it more expensive than flying direct. Fucking airlines are milking the shit out of this.

I know I know :p Just I have free accomodation if I can get over there but I just don't have the extra £300 I am going to need on those flights, a month from now I might be able to do it but by then all the flights are gone. :(

Take a cruise down there, I hear they're dirt cheap if you go down the east coast by Somalia ;)
