Decision Factors (No Prescriptions)
- Flight flexibility: can you change times without major penalties?
- Transfer complexity: direct route or multiple legs and long layovers?
- Accommodation constraints: check-in/check-out timing and cancellation terms.
- Work and family commitments: how much schedule buffer can you realistically allow?
- Comfort tolerance: how much uncertainty or delay can you handle without stress?
Scenario Planning Template
- Base plan: your preferred dates if everything stays on schedule.
- Buffer plan: what you will do if timing shifts by one or two days.
- Exit plan: backup transport and accommodation options for disruptions.
- Document plan: keep passport, booking references, and contacts in one place.
Questions to Ask Yourself
- Do I have enough flexibility to avoid rushed airport transitions?
- If plans change, can I absorb extra nights or rebooking costs?
