How the numbers work
Every city guide here gives a daily cost for each travel style — the range a day costs one person, and a typical split between where you sleep, what you eat, getting around and what you do. The calculator multiplies that by your nights and travellers. Flights are the cheapest one-way fare our daily search has found between the two airports, counted twice for a return; open the flight search for today's price on your dates. All figures are in US dollars.
