I plan the trips you could book yourself, but wouldn't know how to optimise.

Most of what goes wrong on an expensive trip is decided before anyone travels: the month, the order things are booked in, and what was never put in writing. These are the tools I use to work that out.

The tools

Which destination fits you
Six questions, three answers, and the reason for each.

The Pre-Booking Checklist
The standard I'd hold a booking to, before anyone pays.

Not yet open

The budget benchmark, the alternative finder and the best-window finder run on a priced dataset I refresh monthly. They open when the numbers behind them are checked, not before.

Or skip the tools

Tell me about the trip and I'll come back to you myself.
