Total *******

Firstly TravelStart canceled my bookings to the UK which cost me R12 000 to book initially which was pretty good. Since then I have tried to re-book and initially they said booking my new tickets would cost R18464.00 over and above my initial tickets [which I thought was crazy]and when I tried to confirm said tickets they then told me the new tickets would be an extra R 25162.47 per person. How is this possible? Im considering using this money to take out a full-page advert instead!
