Narrative:
Significantly into the descent for landing, the aircraft suddenly began climbing and we began to circle. The captain called to inform flight attendants that there was a problem with the landing gear. I believe the specific problem was the landing gear 'not locking into place.' after circling for several mins, we began a second approach. Shortly into the descent this time, the aircraft began to climb again. The purser was called to the cockpit for a briefing. The purser returned to the cabin and informed the flight attendants in the forward part of the cabin of a problem with the flaps that were used to slow the aircraft down once it landed on the runway. We landed in bos without incident.
