Weird Air Ticket Calculations

Been thinking of my air ticket costs and how I am saving. Am counting extra money I earn from photography and not from security guard pay. This is a bit far fetched but kind of fun to play with.

Ticket Price:

November 2013 Bangkok Air Ticket = $1540 CAD
November 2015 Bangkok Air Ticket = $1243.91 CAD

I am earning a bit with my photography so the ticket cost is even cheaper than the $300 discounted price of $1243.91.

Sundays advanced darkroom workshop will get me $180, and the photo of dad in Open Image 2015 yields $135 (a final gift from my father).

So it could look this way in a certain weirdish light.
A ticket to Thailand in November 2015 = $1243.91 - $180 - $135 = $928.91
Heck lets be optimistic, lets assume I get the $750 CIP Travel Grant as well so that's another $750.
A ticket to Thailand in November 2015 $1243.91 - $180 - $135 - $750 = $178.91

My ticket could only cost me $179 CAD, hope hope : ) Imagine that! My photo money/grant pay added up for a return trip ticket to Thailand to make more photos! Photography paying for itself, the stories of my subjects being told and my security savings not being used.
