— depart Friday evening
I often question myself
Q1: if I have too many AnnL days to clear by EOY, then why not work half-day Fri morning, and go to Changi by MRT, without haste?
A: “too many days”? too confident. For many reasons I may use up a lot quickly and have insufficient AnnL.
Q1b: what about a Friday departure close to EOY?
A: Yes in that case I could work half-day on that Fri.
Q2: if I do work half-day, then why favor Friday evening?
A: At the time of flight booking we prefer Fri night flight as it offers two flexible choices
- half-day leave .. to reduce stress and reduce operational risks
- full-day work .. to conserve AnnL
At the time of booking, this flexibility is a valuable insurance like this example below. Like most term insurance products, when it expires without claim, some consumers may feel “regret” and “money wasted”.
| Thu night: If good sleep, then reach office early to prepare for Thu night: If poor sleep, then work from home from 10am To use up leave balance, and save on taxi, go by MRT. Leave office 6p (crowded) .. If something forgotten, then go home 5p [1] then leave home before 6 |
