Choosing Convenience Over Savings

When faced with the decision of saving $20 on airplane tickets but arriving 30 minutes after friends, or paying extra to arrive with the group, the dilemma of prioritizing time over cost arises. In this scenario, the choice between saving money or aligning arrival times determines the balance between personal saving and group convenience.
