Tips are what stays true. News is what just moved.
A tip tells you to budget for the tourist tax. The news desk tells you which one changed this month, the date the old rule stops applying, and the official source it was checked against.
Travel rules that just changedAbout these tips
No. They are the decisions that change the cost or the weight of any trip — a first flight and a fifth month on the road both run into them. Where a tip only applies to one region or one kind of trip, it says so.
Because advice on its own does not do the work. The airline's real allowance, your passport's visa rules, the season behind the cheap month, the fees that changed last week — those are pages we keep up to date, and a tip's job is to hand you the right one. Where we have no page that helps — the rail tips, for instance — the tip simply ends. We would rather leave it unlinked than send you somewhere that cannot do anything for you.
No, and we would rather say so than collect an email for one. What we publish is the numbers a travel budget is made of — what a day costs by country, the fees that changed this month, real baggage charges — and the order to put them in.
No. Nothing on these pages is an affiliate link, and we never send anyone to a visa agency or a fee reseller. The official government page is free to use, and it is the one we link.
Rarely — they are the things that stay true. What changes underneath them, like fees, entry rules and baggage allowances, lives on the pages they link to. That is exactly why they link there.
The calculator takes your trip and returns the packs you actually need — weight, size, and the rules of the airline you are flying.
