Can't split the commute. It's either round trip c-class or $2000.
If your c-class flight cancels or is delayed they understand and will rearrange your schedule. I've had it twice in 9 years so it isn't very common. Not sure what they will do if you are on a zed ticket though.
If I remember correctly I think I bowed and shook hands during the interview.
