Today I made a decision that cost me over $150...and I'm proud of it!
I was booking my flights out to Miami in order to get out there for the Affiliate Masters Cruise at the end of October (at which I'm on the panel of experts).
Because of the length of the journey...I always try to fly direct wherever possible.
I learned my lesson from my trip to Vegas last years after some 'fun and games' with connections...which meant that it took me almost an entire day to get there!
Usually...the prices to the States from here in the UK are quite reasonable...although some journeys that you think might be cheaper aren't!
And...Miami is one of them! lol
However...since I last looked a couple of weeks ago...a couple of indirect flights appeared on the list which worked out at over $150 cheaper than the direct flights.
And...the flights were direct going there...but there was a connection on the way back that meant that the journey would be two-and-a-half hours longer.
So...would YOU pay $150 more for less flying time (and less chance of stress if connections go wrong?)
Well...I'll be honest with you...I almost talked myself out of it...but then my prosperity consciousness 'kicked in'...and I realized how bad I would feel sitting on a plane knowing that I still had over two hours to go...when I could have landed already!
So...lifestyle won AGAIN over money.
This may not seem like a big thing to you...but I KNOW for a fact that perhaps only a few months ago...I would have gladly extended my already-nine-hour journey by another two-and-a-half...just to save myself $150!
What would YOU have done?
