This will be the third attempt at taking my check-ride, it has cost me a new flight back to the uk, 7 days extra at the hotel, I think about an extra $2000 in total!!!! So much money.
Why did you go to the US to do the checkride again? You trained to the CAA syllabus and if you take all the paperwork with you, you can just show up at any school in the UK, lay all your paperwork on the table there, do a few short flights to get familiar with airspace, school procedures and such, and do the checkflight there.
Must be far cheaper than $2000 that way.
(Edited to say sorry for the above. I now see you're there for the FAA PPL so the above is irrelevant.)
