Tips

  • 2

    Save the inputs you used for this flight time run (flight time dxb to sgn) beside the result; when Ho Chi Minh City prices change, update only the moved fields and keep the assumptions on record for next time.

  • 3

    Pad the plan, not every line item: add a 10-15% contingency to the flight time total for Ho Chi Minh City instead of inflating each component, so you can see exactly where the extra money goes when it is needed.
