The Itinerary Tools
Built on the itineraries, not on guesswork.
These run on the same data as the 466 guides: the month-by-month verdicts, the day counts, and the budgets costed line by line. Where a tool needs something the guides do not publish — a flying time — it says that it is an estimate, and how it was made.

Trip Finder
Seven questions, one trip.
Answer when you can travel, how long you have, who's coming and what you want from it, and get a single itinerary back with the reasons it won — not a list to narrow down yourself.
-
Trip Budget Calculator
What a trip there actually costs.
Pick a country and a length and see what our costed itineraries come to, per person. Built from the same line-by-line figures the guides publish, with the trips it used shown so you can check the arithmetic.
-
Best Time to Visit
Where is good, month by month.
Every country down the side, twelve months across the top. Pick the month you can get away and see what is in season — read from the itineraries themselves, each of which says when it is worth taking.
-
Honeymoon Picker
Where to go, and what it costs for two.
Seventy-five itineraries written for couples, ten of them honeymoons outright. Say when you can go, what kind of trip you want and what you have to spend — every figure is for the pair of you.
-
Visa Checker
What an Indian passport needs, country by country.
Visa-free, on arrival, online or at an embassy — with how long you may stay, who decides, and the month we last believed it. The one page here written for a single nationality, and it says so.

Flight-Time Map
Where two, four or six hours from Dubai gets you.
Every country we write about, ringed by flying time from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with the ones you can reach on a direct flight. The time is an estimate from distance and says so; whether there is a direct flight is read from the airports' own route lists, and dated.
