R9000 JNB - Zanzibar and i must still pay for FOOD

My friend got married in Zanzibar last week - we paid R9000 for flights,CRAZY!!!!! <br> <br> Last year this time the flights were R5000, and not R9000 - how on earth does the flight almost double in a year??? <br> <br> I flew to Paris and Switzerland in Decmedber and Paid R8500... i also got 4 \free"meals and on this international flight to Zanzibar i must also now pay for stale food and drinks"
