Trip Duration Calculator

How many days do you really need? This blends transit time, jet-lag recovery, and how much you want to do into a recommended trip length — so you don't come home needing a vacation from your vacation.

Getting There

Door-to-door each way, including airport time. Time zones is the hour difference between home and destination.

On the Ground

The big sights, tours, day trips & meals you'd be sad to miss — not every little thing.

§ Pro Tip The biggest mistake is cramming a long-haul, big-time-zone trip into too few days — the jet lag eats your first two mornings and the flight home eats the last one. If your numbers come out tight, it's usually cheaper in the long run to add a day than to fly all that way and only half-see the place. And the first day after a big eastward flight? Plan something gentle, not a 6 a.m. tour.

Flight Cost Estimator

Estimate airfare before you book — a low / average / high budget range based on distance, cabin, season, and how far ahead you book. This is a planning estimate, not a live fare search.

Route
§ Pro Tip For most round-trips, the cheapest fares tend to land 1–3 months ahead for domestic and 2–6 months ahead for international. Midweek departures (Tuesday/Wednesday) and flexible dates usually beat the "average" shown here, while peak holidays and last-minute bookings push you toward the high end. Use this range to set your budget — then watch for fares below it.

🏨 Hotel
🏠 Vacation rental
§ Pro Tip The break-even usually comes down to party size and trip length. For 1–2 people on a short city trip, a hotel's nightly service and central location often win. Once you need two or more rooms — or you'll be cooking, doing laundry, and staying four-plus nights — a whole-place rental tends to pull ahead on both cost and comfort. Always add the cleaning and service fees before you compare a rental's "nightly" rate to a hotel's.

§ Pro Tip Don't shop on premium alone. The two coverages that can actually bankrupt you abroad are emergency medical and medical evacuation — a single air-ambulance flight home can run $50,000–$250,000. Aim for at least $100,000 in medical and $250,000 in evacuation before you worry about the smaller perks. And always read the exclusions: pre-existing conditions, adventure sports, and "known events" (like a named storm) are the usual traps.

Most rental desks and police want to see both documents together.

Flight Delay Compensation

Know your rights when a flight is delayed, cancelled or overbooked. Check what you're owed under EU261, UK261, US DOT or Canada's APPR — then generate a ready-to-send complaint letter citing the exact rule and amount.

Step 1 — Which rules apply?
🇪🇺 EU261 🇬🇧 UK261 🇺🇸 US DOT 🇨🇦 Canada APPR
Not sure which applies to your flight? EU261 — any flight departing an EU/EEA airport, or arriving in the EU/EEA on an EU/EEA airline (incl. Iceland, Norway, Switzerland).
UK261 — any flight departing a UK airport, or arriving in the UK on a UK/EU airline.
US DOT — flights to, from or within the United States.
Canada APPR — flights to, from or within Canada.
If more than one could apply, the one that pays more usually governs — check both.
Step 2 — What happened?
🕐 Delayed ❌ Cancelled 🚫 Denied boarding
Step 3 — Your flight details
⚠️ Guidance only — not legal advice. Eligibility depends on the exact circumstances, and airlines often dispute claims. Amounts and rules change; verify with the relevant regulator (EU/national enforcement body, UK CAA, US DOT, or the Canadian Transportation Agency) before acting. "Extraordinary" / out-of-control causes (most weather, ATC, strikes, security, safety issues) remove cash compensation but not your care and refund rights.
§ 02

✍️ Generate Your Complaint Letter

Fill in your flight details and we'll draft a formal claim letter citing the correct regulation and the amount from your result above. Everything stays in this browser.

Run Check My Rights above first — the letter will cite the matching regulation and amount.
§ Pro Tip Claim directly with the airline first and give them a deadline (e.g. 14 days). Keep every boarding pass, booking email and a photo of the airport departure board showing the delay. If the airline refuses or ignores you, escalate free of charge to the national enforcement body — you rarely need a paid claims agency that takes a cut.

Customs Declaration Helper

What you can & can't bring into your destination — duty-free allowances for alcohol, tobacco, goods & cash, plus prohibited and must-declare items. Then run the self-check to see if you should walk the red or green channel.

⚠️ Verify with official sources before travel. Customs allowances and prohibited-item lists change frequently and vary by your age, residency, length of stay, and mode of arrival. Confirm with the destination's official customs authority before you pack. When in doubt — declare it.
§ 01

📋 Do I Need to Declare?

Tick anything you're carrying. This is a personal self-check — your answers stay in this browser and are never sent anywhere.

§ 02

🚦 Red Channel vs. Green Channel

Most international airports split arriving travelers into two channels. Picking the wrong one isn't a shortcut — walking through green with something to declare is a customs offence almost everywhere.

🟢 Green / "Nothing to Declare"
Use only if everything you carry is within the duty-free allowances and you have no prohibited or restricted items. Officers can still stop and search you at random.
🔴 Red / "Goods to Declare"
Use if you're over any allowance, carrying restricted goods (food, plants, animal products, large cash sums, medicines, commercial items), or you're simply unsure. Declaring voluntarily means duty at worst — failing to declare risks seizure and fines.

Some countries (e.g. the United States) have no physical channels — instead you complete a written or digital declaration form for every traveler or family. The principle is the same: declare everything truthfully.

§ Pro Tip Keep receipts for big-ticket purchases in your carry-on. If an officer questions the value of a watch, camera, or jewellery, a receipt settles it instantly — and proves which items you already owned before the trip, so you aren't charged duty on your own belongings.

Vaccination & Health Requirements

Required and recommended vaccines for 120+ destinations. Malaria risk zones, Yellow Fever certificate guidance, and a personal vaccination record — all bundled, all offline.

⚠️ Verify with official sources before travel. Vaccine recommendations change. Always consult the CDC (cdc.gov/travel), WHO (who.int/ith), or a travel medicine specialist 4–6 weeks before your trip.
§ 01

🗓 Pre-Trip Vaccination Timeline

Travel vaccines need time to take effect — and some require multiple doses. Start planning well before departure.

§ 02

💊 Routine Adult Vaccines

These are recommended for every adult regardless of destination. Check that yours are up to date before any trip.

§ 03

🦟 Malaria Prophylaxis Overview

There is no vaccine for malaria in widespread use. Prevention relies on prescription antimalarial drugs plus mosquito-bite avoidance (DEET, permethrin-treated clothing, bed nets).

Risk varies dramatically — even within a single country. Sub-Saharan Africa, Papua New Guinea, and parts of the Amazon basin carry the highest risk; many tourist resorts and major cities are low or no risk.

A travel medicine doctor will choose the right drug based on your destination's drug-resistance profile, your medical history, and how long you'll stay.

§ 04

📒 Yellow Fever Certificate (WHO "Yellow Card")

Yellow Fever is the only vaccine that countries can legally require for entry under the International Health Regulations. Proof is the ICVP (International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis), a yellow booklet you receive at a designated travel clinic.

  • When required: If you've recently been in or are arriving from a Yellow Fever endemic country (most of tropical Africa & South America). Many countries — including South Africa, India, and Thailand — require the certificate from such travelers.
  • Validity: A single dose now provides lifetime protection per WHO (since 2016).
  • Timing: The vaccine must be given at least 10 days before entry for the certificate to be valid.
  • Where: Only at authorised Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres (in the US, search the CDC's travel clinic directory).
  • Medical exemption: If you can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, ask the clinic for a signed exemption letter on official letterhead.
§ 05

📋 My Vaccination Record

Log vaccines you've received so you can show them later. Stored only in this browser.

§ Pro Tip Snap a photo of your physical Yellow Card and store it in this app's vaccination record. If you ever lose the booklet, you'll have proof at hand — and the digital record can save you a re-vaccination at the border.

Smooth-Screening Tips

🪪
REAL ID by May 2025Standard driver's licenses are no longer accepted for domestic flights. Use a REAL ID, passport, or another approved ID.
💻
Laptops out (standard lane)Larger than a phone goes in its own bin. PreCheck travelers leave them in the bag.
🍶
Empty your water bottleFill at a fountain past security. Frozen-solid water counts as a solid until it melts.
🔋
Lithium batteries in carry-onSpare lithium-ion batteries, power banks & vapes must fly in the cabin — never checked.
🎁
Don't wrap giftsTSA may need to unwrap any package. Pack gifts loose and wrap at your destination.
💊
Meds keep in original bottlesNot legally required by TSA, but smooths screening and avoids problems at the destination.
🍱
Solid food is fineSandwiches, sealed snacks, baked goods all welcome. Spreads & dips count as liquids.
⏰
Arrive 2 hr domestic, 3 hr internationalAdd 30 min for major hubs (ATL, LAX, JFK, ORD) during peak travel periods.
⚠️ Final call is the officer's. TSA agents have the final say at the checkpoint regardless of any guide. When uncertain, pack in checked baggage — or leave it home. Rules current as of 2025; verify at tsa.gov before travel.
§ Pro Tip For the fastest screening: wear slip-on shoes, keep ID + boarding pass in one hand, pull out the quart bag and any laptop before reaching the belt, and empty pockets into your carry-on rather than a separate bin. You'll move twice as fast as the person fumbling at the front of the line.

Carry-On Size Checker

Enter your bag's dimensions, pick an airline, and find out if it fits — before you get to the gate. Carry-on or personal-item limits for 35 major airlines, in inches or centimeters.

↳ Measure including wheels, handles, and pockets. Airlines size at the bag's largest points — what fits the sizer is what counts.
⚠️ Borderline is not guaranteed. Gate-sizer boxes are usually a hair tighter than the published max. Soft-sided bags compress; hard shells don't. Limits also assume you're not on a basic-economy fare that restricts cabin baggage.
§ Pro Tip For low-cost carriers (Ryanair, Wizz, Spirit, Frontier), assume the sizer is the law and that the gate agent is looking for upsells. A bag that's within spec on paper but bulging at the seams will get pulled. If you measure borderline, plan to gate-check rather than fight it — a $0 gate-check beats a $79 oversized-bag fee every time.

Luggage Weight Calculator

Your virtual baggage scale. List what's going in the bag, set your airline's weight limit, and watch your remaining allowance — before the check-in counter does the math for you.

lb
↳ Pick an airline, or type your own limit. Most economy checked bags are capped at 50 lb (23 kg) — over that, expect a steep overweight fee.
lb
↳ The suitcase itself counts toward the limit. A large hardshell runs ~9–11 lb (4–5 kg) empty; a soft duffel ~3 lb (1.5 kg).
Quick add — tap to drop in, then adjust:
⚠️ This is an estimate, not a certified scale. Item weights you don't measure yourself are approximations. Airlines weigh the whole bag at check-in — when you're within a pound or two of the limit, weigh the packed bag on a real luggage scale before you leave.
§ Pro Tip Overweight fees are punishing — often $100+ for a bag just a few pounds over, frequently more than a whole second checked bag would have cost. If you're over, the cheapest fix is usually to shift your heaviest dense items (shoes, books, toiletries, chargers) into your carry-on or personal item, which is rarely weighed on full-service carriers.

⚠️ The Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) trap

§ Pro Tip Flat fees (your bank's ATM fee plus the operator surcharge) cost the same whether you take out $50 or $500 — so fewer, larger withdrawals dramatically cut your percentage cost. Decline DCC every time, decline the operator's "conversion," and if your home bank charges a foreign-transaction fee, a no-FX-fee debit or travel card usually pays for itself on the first trip.

§ Pro Tip Accommodation is the biggest lever between tiers — in most cities a dorm or guesthouse versus a 4-star hotel can swing your daily cost more than food, transport, and fun combined. If a city pushes your budget down a tier, trimming lodging (or sharing a room) usually recovers the most ground, while eating where locals eat keeps food costs flat across destinations.

Pick a country to see its tourist VAT refund rules.
§ Pro Tip The headline VAT rate is never what you get back — refund operators (Global Blue, Planet) keep a chunk, so a 20% VAT usually nets closer to 12%. To maximise it: concentrate spending in one store to clear the minimum, always ask for the tax-free form and show your passport at the till, keep goods unused, and leave time at the airport to get the form validated before you check bags containing the purchases.

Bar tabs, spa treatments and specialty dining usually have 18–20% auto-added at checkout, so you only tip extra for exceptional service. Rates shown reflect May 2026 published rates.

🗓 Acclimatization timeline

Your body needs time to make more red blood cells and adjust to thinner air. There's no shortcut — the only reliable way to acclimatize is to go up slowly and give it days, not hours.

  • The 500 m rule. Above 3,000 m (10,000 ft), don't raise the altitude you sleep at by more than ~500 m (1,600 ft) per night.
  • Climb high, sleep low. It's fine to hike higher during the day — just come back down to sleep. Day trips up don't count against the rule.
  • Rest days. Build in a rest day every 1,000 m (3,300 ft) of ascent, or every 3–4 days, sleeping at the same altitude.
  • Take it easy on arrival. Most AMS appears 6–24 hours after you arrive at a new altitude. Keep the first day or two gentle — no strenuous exertion.
  • Listen to your body. If you feel off, don't go higher until symptoms clear. Acclimatization can't be rushed or willed.
🛡 Prevention & the golden rules of descent
✅ Prevention
  • Ascend gradually and follow the 500 m sleeping-altitude rule above 3,000 m.
  • Climb high, sleep low and build in rest days.
  • Hydrate well — thin, dry air dehydrates you fast — but don't force huge volumes of water.
  • Skip alcohol & sleeping pills for the first 48 hours; both blunt your breathing.
  • Eat a high-carbohydrate diet and keep activity light early on.
  • Consider acetazolamide (Diamox) if you're prone to AMS or must ascend quickly — ask your doctor before the trip.
  • Never ascend with symptoms. A nagging headache means stay put, not push on.
⬇️ When to descend
  • Feel unwell at altitude? Assume it's altitude sickness until proven otherwise — don't blame the food or a bad night's sleep.
  • With any AMS symptoms, do not go higher. Stay at the same altitude, rest, and hydrate until you fully recover.
  • If symptoms worsen or don't improve with rest, descend — even 300–1,000 m (1,000–3,300 ft) lower often brings fast relief.
  • At any sign of HACE or HAPE (see below), descend immediately, day or night. This is an emergency.
  • Never leave a sick person alone and never let them descend alone. Descent is the single most effective treatment.
⚠️ Know the three altitude illnesses

Altitude illness is a spectrum. Mild AMS is common and manageable; HACE and HAPE are rare but life-threatening and demand immediate descent.

AMS
Acute Mountain Sickness
Common · Mild–moderate
Warning signs
  • Headache (the hallmark)
  • Nausea or loss of appetite
  • Fatigue & weakness
  • Dizziness
  • Poor sleep
Feels like a hangover. Stop ascending, rest, hydrate, treat the headache. It usually eases in 12–48 hours. If it worsens, descend.
HACE
High-Altitude Cerebral Edema
Emergency · Brain
Warning signs
  • Confusion, odd behavior
  • Loss of coordination (can't walk a straight line)
  • Severe drowsiness
  • Hallucinations
  • Worsening AMS
Descend immediately. Give oxygen and dexamethasone if available. Do not wait for morning — minutes matter.
HAPE
High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema
Emergency · Lungs
Warning signs
  • Breathless at rest
  • Persistent cough, maybe frothy/pink
  • Chest tightness or congestion
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Blue-tinged lips or nails
Descend immediately. Give oxygen and nifedipine if available. HAPE can develop without any headache — trust the breathing.
💊 Medications & remedies

Drugs help but never replace sensible ascent. Prevention meds work best started before you go up. Filter to compare your options.

All 🟢 Over-the-counter 🔴 Prescription 🌿 Natural 🛡 Prevention
⚕ General information, not medical advice. Risk bands, timelines, doses and timings here are typical guidance — individual susceptibility varies enormously and altitude illness can be unpredictable. Always plan your ascent and any medication with a doctor or travel-medicine clinic before you go, especially if you are pregnant, have heart or lung conditions, sickle cell trait, a sulfa allergy, or take other medication. When in doubt, go down.
§ Pro Tip The single biggest risk factor is how fast you go up — far more than how fit you are. Fit young hikers get AMS all the time by charging ahead. If your itinerary flies or drives you straight to a high sleeping altitude (Cusco, La Paz, Lhasa, Leh), spend your first day doing almost nothing, and ask your doctor about starting acetazolamide the day before you arrive.

All 🟢 Over-the-counter 🔴 Prescription 🌿 Natural 😊 Least drowsy
🧭 Stay ahead of it & what to do when it hits
🛡 Prevention
  • Medicate early. Take your tablet or apply a patch before you board, not after symptoms start.
  • Watch the horizon. Fix your eyes on a stable distant point or the skyline when seas pick up.
  • Eat light & bland. Crackers, bread, apples. Don't sail on an empty or overstuffed stomach.
  • Skip the triggers. Avoid alcohol, greasy or spicy food, and strong smells.
  • Put the screen down. Reading and phones up close create the eye–inner-ear mismatch that triggers it.
  • Get fresh air. Head to an open deck, midship, and face the direction of travel.
  • Stay hydrated. Sip water or ginger ale through the day.
🆘 When it hits
  • Get outside to fresh air and lock your eyes onto the horizon — open deck, midship.
  • Stop all reading and screens; loosen tight clothing and breathe slowly and deeply.
  • Sip cold water or ginger ale; nibble a plain cracker or ginger candy.
  • If you haven't medicated, a fast-acting tablet can still help once your stomach settles.
  • Lie down in your cabin (low, midship) with your eyes closed if it won't pass.
  • Most people adapt in 1–3 days — you're getting your "sea legs." Severe, non-stop vomiting? The ship's medical center can give an injection.
⚕ General information, not medical advice. Medication names, doses and timings here are typical examples — always read the label and check with a doctor or pharmacist before use, especially if you are pregnant or nursing, taking other medication, or have a condition such as glaucoma, heart, prostate, or liver problems. Brand names vary by country.
§ Pro Tip Combine defenses for rough crossings: a long-acting patch or once-a-day tablet started early, acupressure bands, ginger, and a low midship cabin together work far better than any one alone. And don't wait to feel queasy — by then it's an uphill battle.

Enter your destination and dates and it applies the 75% first/last travel-day rule and totals it all up.

Pick a destination and your travel dates to see the per diem breakdown.
About these rates. Figures are representative cached estimates for reference and budgeting — domestic from the US GSA, international from the US State Department. Actual rates change each fiscal year and many cities vary by month/season. Alaska, Hawaii & US territories use Department of Defense rates. Always confirm the current official rate (gsa.gov/perdiem or aoprals.state.gov) before filing an expense report.
§ Pro Tip Per diem is an allowance, not a reimbursement of receipts — under the standard method you keep the difference if you spend less than M&IE (lodging usually still needs a receipt up to the cap). The 75% first/last-day rule catches many people out: a 3-day trip isn't 3 full days of meals, it's one full day plus two 75% travel days. Build to the allowance and you'll rarely be out of pocket.

Post-Trip Health Checklist

Some travel illnesses show up days — or even months — after you're home. Tick any symptoms and exposures from your trip, and this tells you whether to see a doctor, how long to keep watching, and builds a summary you can hand your doctor so they test for the right things.

🩺 Any symptoms since you got back?

Tick everything you've noticed, even if it seems minor. Items marked urgent mean you should seek care quickly.

🌍 What were you exposed to?

These don't mean you're ill — but they tell your doctor which infections to consider and test for.

📋 What to tell your doctor

Bring this with you. Telling a clinician you've traveled recently changes which illnesses they look for — many travel infections are missed otherwise.

Your travel-health summary

✓ Copied
Say this: "I traveled recently and have these symptoms — please consider travel-related illnesses." Mention every country, rural stops, and anything you're unsure about.
📖 Common post-travel illnesses

A quick reference — not a diagnosis. The headline rule: a fever after travel to the tropics is a medical emergency until malaria is ruled out.

🗓 How long to keep watching

Feeling fine now is reassuring but not the all-clear — keep an eye out, especially for fever.

⏱ Most illnesses
First 1–2 weeks
Diarrhea, dengue and most infections appear soon after you return.
🌡️ Watch for fever
Up to 3 months
Any unexplained fever in this window — see a doctor and mention your travel.
🦟 Malaria can hide
Up to 1 year
Rarely, malaria surfaces months later. Keep your destinations in mind all year.
⚕ General information, not medical advice. This checklist can't diagnose anything and doesn't replace a clinician. If you feel seriously unwell — high or persistent fever, trouble breathing, confusion, severe pain, or after an animal bite abroad — seek medical care now and tell them where you traveled. When in doubt, get checked.
§ Pro Tip The single most important thing you can do is volunteer your travel history — many doctors won't think to ask. A fever that looks like ordinary flu can be malaria or typhoid, and the right test only gets ordered if your doctor knows you were abroad. Keep your list of countries, dates, and any rural or freshwater stops handy for up to a year.

§ Pro Tip Honest, specific reviews are the most useful ones. Name the concrete things — the late-night front desk, the seat pitch, the dish you'd order again — rather than vague praise. The generated draft is a starting point: edit it in your own voice before you post, and it'll read like you, not a template.
