[Norticprincess]

Don't see prices that low, the sale looks pretty good. Probably don't have the dates perfect.

Eta did find late sept to AD. Now to figure out if DH will go for it!!!

If I wasn't a teacher and had time off in the off season, I'd be all over this.

Very tempting even though I don't know my schedule past June. But I know I'll have 4 weeks of vacation. It's almost worth it to gamble and buy tickets lol.

You better go to Cape Town too! There are good reliable budget airlines (think nicer than southwest) that fly between Joburg and Cape Town for $100-$200 RT depending on the dates.

Has anyone been to the UAE? Would it be doable to go with an almost-one-year-old? We are seriously considering it.

I've been to Dubai and from my limited experience it'd be a great location for a family vacation with a toddler.

The only thing I'd worry about would be how long the flight is.

It is between 13 - 14 hours total. (I do Doha - Dulles and its 13). It's long but manageable!

My friend just booked trips to Mumbai and Abu Dhabi from DC for less than 600 rt. I'm so jealous! Maybe next time.

From the point they become avid crawlers/new walkers until they can handle real instructions, that flight would be my personal version of hell. Jennybee and I have different ideas of manageable ;-)
