Sorry to hear mate, deepest sympathies

You could try searching for last minute flights, some of these websites specialist in selling seats the airlines couldn't shift, and so are cheap. try here

I have been using Zuji.com.au for few times now...

Where is she flying ? Anywhere to 'asia hub' like singapore/hong kong would be easy and can be direct too..

yeah HK, she's got something for friday i think but return is impossible for the whole feb due to chinese new year, but god knows how long she'll have to spend over there

It's good she got a flight wish it was under different circumstances though. Sadly she may need to be there the whole of February anyway but if not perhaps they can pop her on a standby list? If she needs to get home sooner

Hang the cost just get her over there...

Worry about the Credit Card later mate, Nic will need this time to be at her father's side.

We wish your family all our best in this trying time.
