Ready for Departure

The 52 Hour Journey Home!
... food, as the airport refused to help us in anyway. Once the UK branch were open we were back and forth for hours. Still nothing was resolved and so we were told to pay £2500 for another flight! We found one for £550, but even still this was money we just didn't have. And we had to fly via Oman (next to Saudi Arabia) to get home!
