Since I sometimes book as much as five months in advance (particularly for peak periods, like New Year or Carnaval) I sometimes have quite a few trips in MMB. But some friends who travel just as much always book at the last minute so never have the pleasure of seeing several trips laid out before them on the screen. For one friend in particular, buying his ticket is part of the packing process. He was once staying with me and it was quite comical to witness him, around 6am after an evening out, alternating between putting an item of clothing in his suitcase, pouring himself some more vodka, and re-checking the online prices of flights that morning to New York. At one point he suddenly noticed one of his options had massively dropped in price (or the vodka got to him) so he snapped it up and announced take-off was in three hours.
