Sister Chotoo Motoo, do you deny that I routinely travel back and forth between Pakistan and California? Sheesh, I am telling you that my ticket ROUND TRIP costs 70,000 rupees. That is about $1,000. My friends just bought tickets round-trip and it cost them 90,000 rupees ON EMIRATES ($1,300), which is more expensive than other airlines.
Just because you were stupid and bought expensive tickets doesn't mean crap. It's not a proof of anything other than the fact that you don't know how to shop.
Anyways, I already told you that the kid can go AWOL.
