HOW TO BRIDGE 'THE CONFIDENCE GAP'

By Russ Harris

1. Confidence is a Skill, Not a Trait Confidence can be developed and strengthened with practice and effort.

HOW TO BUY CHEAP FLIGHT TICKETS AND SAVE YOUR MONEY

1. Book on Tuesday and Wednesday

Tuesday and Wednesday are among the best days to buy flight tickets. Most airlines usually set up their booking systems on Tuesday at 7:00 PM. This is because airlines know that most passengers will only have time to book tickets on weekdays. According to statistics, it is proven that most of us only browse ticket prices on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.

2. Book Early, But Not Too Early

Based on experience, you should book tickets at least 21 days in advance of your travel date. Most airlines have set up their systems to achieve as many ticket sales as possible. Therefore, the system has a certain quota for very cheap tickets. For example, in the system, it is determined that for flights from Kuala Lumpur to London, only the first 20 passengers will get the lowest price. The next 200 passengers will get a medium price, and the rest may be more expensive. In short, the airline's system will set ticket prices based on the margin they want when flying from Kuala Lumpur to London.

3. Suitable Flying Days

Try to book tickets to fly on Tuesday or Wednesday. Most airlines set these two days as 'less busy days' for booking systems. Airports are also usually less busy on these two days compared to Fridays and Sundays when the booking system and airports become very busy.

4. Look for the 'Best Deal' for International Flights

Most airlines will offer the 'Best Deal' about 11 to 12 weeks in advance for international flights. So, you need to regularly check ticket prices during this period.

5. Choose to Land at Smaller Airports

You can try this technique, which is landing at an airport that is not the 'main airport' for that destination. For example, if you want to go to London, many will usually choose to land at Heathrow. Next time, don’t land at Heathrow, but try landing at a 'smaller' airport near Heathrow, such as the airport in Manchester. Then, from Manchester, you can take a train to London. Try this method. It should be cheaper!

6. Clear 'Cookies'

Many people do not know this. Clear the cookies on your laptop, smartphone, and PC if you have visited the airline's website 30 days before. This is because through these cookies, the airline's booking system will assume that you have visited their website repeatedly. Therefore, the booking system will set the same price even if you have visited the website multiple times. Sometimes, the price may even increase! So, practice the habit of clearing cookies on your internet browser. If you don’t know how to delete them, ask Mr. Google!

7. Compare Prices

Don’t be lazy to google and compare the ticket prices you want on other websites. Don’t just focus on one website. You will be surprised because sometimes you will find cheaper ticket prices from the same airline. Here are some search engines that I frequently use for travel:

1. Skyscanner
2. CheapFlight
3. Momondo
4. Kayak
5. Google Flight
6. Ita Software . NNL.

Asking clarifying questions demonstrates your desire to truly understand the other person's perspective. Cultivate genuine curiosity by prompting them to share more with inquiries like "Tell me more about that" or "What was that experience like for you?"
