Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about planning your trip
How far in advance should I start planning my trip?
For international trips, start planning 3-6 months in advance to secure the best flight deals and accommodation. For domestic trips, 1-3 months is usually sufficient. However, popular destinations during peak season may require even earlier planning. Use our distance calculator and cost calculator to get started with your initial planning.
What's the best way to budget for a trip?
Start by using our budget planner to estimate costs for flights, accommodation, food, activities, and transportation. Add a 10-20% buffer for unexpected expenses. Research average daily costs for your destination and track your spending during the trip. Consider using travel rewards credit cards and booking in advance for better deals.
How do I choose the right destination for my trip?
Consider your interests, budget, available time, and travel style. Use our destination finder to discover places that match your preferences. Research weather patterns, peak tourist seasons, and visa requirements. Read our destination guides for detailed information about 500+ locations worldwide.
What should I pack for my trip?
Packing depends on your destination, trip duration, and planned activities. Use our packing list generator to create a customized checklist based on your trip details. Essential items include travel documents, appropriate clothing, toiletries, medications, electronics, and travel adapters. Check our complete packing guide for detailed recommendations.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is highly recommended, especially for international trips. It covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and other unexpected events. The cost is typically 4-8% of your total trip cost. Consider comprehensive coverage that includes medical evacuation, especially for adventure activities or remote destinations. Read our travel safety guide for more information.
How can I save money on travel?
Book flights and accommodation in advance, travel during shoulder season, use public transportation, eat at local restaurants, and look for free activities. Consider budget-friendly destinations and use our tools to compare costs. Sign up for airline newsletters, use price comparison websites, and be flexible with your travel dates. Check out our money-saving travel tips for more strategies.
