Hello! I’m Aruzhan, (Ari) and today was a milestone in my study-abroad journey to book a flight to Europe! It was like going on a roller coaster of emotions: excitement, anticipation, and a bit of nervousness realizing this is the start of an entirely new chapter in my life. Never having been to Europe before, the idea of immersing myself in another culture is exhilarating.
The flight booking turned out to be a learning experience in itself. After hours of research, comparing prices, and navigating through various options, I managed to get the perfect deal. Here are a few pieces of advice that I picked up along the way:
1. Check Official Websites: Airline websites often have better deals than third-party platforms.
2. Look for Round-Trip Deals: You can save a lot by booking round trips; I recently saw an incredible deal on a round-trip ticket to Spain, priced at approximately $350.
3. Double-Check Luggage Policies: Most tickets do not include checked luggage, so it is cheaper to add it while booking your flight than to do it at the airport.
Now that I finally clicked “confirm,” it all began to feel real. It is a big move toward my dream of studying abroad, and the thought of adventures and opportunities awaiting me is thrilling.
Well, the countdown begins! Time to get down to business: packing and preparing for this exciting journey. Europe, here I come-I cannot wait to see what this next chapter has in store for me! Wishing the very best of luck to every student who is navigating the same journey as I am.
