Had an interesting month -
Returned to Angola (where I have been working for last 6 years) from leave in France (where I am very slowly doing up a little place to maybe retire to - I am an Aussie).
Got arrested at Luanda airport, jailed (one night only) then deported as my visa had been cancelled (I had obviously stopped one too many powerful thief stealing money from the company). Got myself back to France (more rational than the suggestion of Namibia) only to have a cardiac incident and need to be hospitalised. Next (and only) contact from company I had been working for was to say I was fired. All in all, a good month all round !!!
Now the question: I am entitled to Business Class return to OZ as it is now (because I was fired) the end of my assignment but not sure when I will be allowed medically to fly - could be 2-3 months.
Fares seem enormously variable for Business Class tickets and I know I can probably get a return trip for the price of a one way depending on airline or downgrading to Premium Economy or even train down to Barcelona as departure point (only 2-3 hours away) but (despite no cost to company) am getting no interest from them in providing a refundable or at least changeable fare. Any suggestions on the ticket/fare type I need
