Conseils

  • 1

    Airborne time between Medina and Zanzibar excludes taxi, climb, and holding, so treat the estimate as a floor — and if the two airports sit in different time zones, the arrival clock differs even with identical flying minutes.

  • 2

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

  • 3

    Work in the local currency of Zanzibar and keep card fees as a separate line; converting every flight time price to your home currency with a rough rate distorts the comparison between options and hides their real differences.
