Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.
- Airport transfer · Arriving by air
The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.
- Travel insurance · An international trip
Medical cover abroad and trip cancellation. Priced by the insurer for your party and dates.
- SIM or eSIM · An international trip
Roaming or a local data plan for the days you are away.
- Tips and service charges · Any trip
Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.
- Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip
Outside the activities line, which budgets what you do, not what you bring home.
