Budgeting Tips
Start with the big-ticket items (flights and hotel), which typically account for 60-70% of the total budget. Then layer in daily costs for food and activities. Add a 10-15% buffer for unexpected expenses and impulse purchases.
When to Book
The sweet spot for domestic flights is 1-3 months before departure. International flights: 2-6 months. Hotels: 1-2 months for the best rates. Peak season pricing can be 30-50% higher than shoulder season for the same destination.
