Unfortunately, Cape Town is a long way away!

I explained it in the budget section:


 * Travel: £2000 (flight) return flight BA Cape Town -> Montréal, Canada
 * Accommodation: £65 per night x 4 nights = £260

The flight is 'premium economy' because I have had two DVTs (Deep Vein Thromboses) and so am at increased risk of another one on flights over 9 hours long, particularly in standard economy. The economy fare is £873. If it was not possible to allow this exception to the policy for health reasons, I'd do my best to fund the difference.


 * Reducing it to economy gives £1133

I've reduced it to that amount - which I know is still high relative to local travel, and I'll need to pay the difference
