I’m flying to Hawaii from the states. My trip is going to be 6-7 days. If I come back on the 6th day I’ll have the next day off to rest before I have to go back to work. But if I come back on the 7th day,I save $120 on the flight. That may not seem significant but I just spent a extra $700 on a unseen expense so it takes away from my flight money. This is also my birthday trip and my first time outside “the states” technically even though Hawaii is still the USA. I’m excited but I know I’m going to spend a long time on the plane.
TLDR; Should I book the cheaper flight for the coming back the day before work? I would land at 11pm & go to work at 8am the next day.
The more expensive flight gives me a day to rest before I return to work.
I’m trying to decide what’s more important. Sleep/rest or money lol
It’s a personal choice. I personally would spend more time in Hawaii and just be tired at work. I’d be depressed going back to work anyways but I also didn’t really care about my job so who cares if I was tired. Depressed having to come back anyways. Just do your job half-assed, that’s the American way!
you’ll have to spend on a hotel the 6th night if you do 7 days though. money might be a wash
Depends on what your job is imo. I can struggle through a day of office work on low sleep and make up for it the next day but if you’re operating dangerous machinery or something, not worth the risk.
Just stay the extra day. You can rest in your hotel room and on the plane. You don’t have to actually do anything.
Speaking of hotel. If you have to spend $120 to leave a day early, how much h do you have to spend on the hotel to stay a day late?
