Hi Lesley,
Thanks for your question, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Where international flights are only available from London, we can offer great value connecting flights with British Airways or BMI for just £29 per person return. So if you were to book to fly from Leeds/Bradford, you would fly to Heathrow where you would join the flight to South Africa, and be on the same flight as your Dad.
I hope you decide to book, let me know if you have any other questions and i'd be happy to help.
Kind Regards,
Cheryl, your editor
