Travel guides & inspiration

These are the questions we answer on the phone most often, written down properly: what a trip actually costs, how to split the nights between two destinations, and which month is worth paying for. Every price quoted in them is one we publish on a package, not an estimate.

• Working out a budget. What multi-centre holidays really cost breaks the numbers down by route. For a single destination, how much a luxury Maldives holiday costs and Singapore and Bali do the same job.
• Deciding how to split two destinations. The complete guide to multi-centre holidays covers the format; Dubai and the Maldives, Singapore and Bali, New York and the Caribbean and Caribbean island pairs take the four we are asked for most.
• Timing it. The best time to visit the Maldives is the most detailed month-by-month piece here.
• Getting the board basis right. How to get the best all-inclusive deal explains when the upgrade pays for itself and when it does not.

How to use them

The guides are written to be read before you enquire, not instead of enquiring. They will tell you what a route costs and where the money goes; they will not know your dates, your departure airport or how many of you are travelling, which is where the real price comes from. When you have a shape in mind, send it to us and we will price it.
