I was thinking of going for about 10 days, but not sure how that would fit around the actual wedding or if Gavin will be able to take as long off work. Haven't seriously investigated fares yet. If you have info, would be grateful if you could post it somewhere, as will save everyone doing the same investigations. Clarinda was talking of trying to negotiate a discounted block booking, but that does kinda mean everyone travelling at the same time, and I can't see that happening. 18 hours does sound evil... :-/
3h at Heathrow is no problem, at least in the long-haul terminals--loads to do, at least at T3 and T4. No idea how Schipol is, but it says if you've got over 4h you can go into Amsterdam as it's only 20 mins. You'd have to allow a decent amount of time anyway, because of going through immigration (at least, _I_ do, I have to clear it even to transfer :/) And there wouldn't be a wait at Heathrow because it's a European flight.
Wondering about how much it would be to book only the Amsterdam/Paris/Frankfurt-JNB portion, and find a cheapo European flight. The taxes at LHR are horrendous.
Of course, you're talking to the Lazy Ones, watch us say "fuck it, we'll pay an extra £100 and get a nonstop flight" :)
