Booking flights

Just 11 months in advance

First of all, we wanted to get some information about the prices we'll have to pay for our flights. We crombed through several websites and checked airlines that connect Germany and Uganda. Out of question was that we will fly to Entebbe. The airport is about 4okm from Kampala, the capital of Uganda. Taking the country road, you need about 1 hour (3okm) to get to Mpigi, the city where Moses built up Abato.
Quite soon, there was a problem: No website could show any return flight. We're planning to fly back in April 2o15, after a backpacking trip we're planning.
We decided to get some help in a travel agency. To be honest, the advisor wasn't very helpful. She didn't get, that we have time, but no money. So we're very flexible about the dates, as long as it is as cheap as possible. We're going to visit some other agencies. But we're not in a rush: Airlines plan and publish their flights just 11 months in advance. For us that means, we can start looking for flights in May again. It does not make sense to book an outgoing flight now and later the return flight because it would be much more expensive. Same goes for booking a return ticket now and changing dates later.
So, we have to wait...
