Trip budget calculator
The flight line is a cached Travelpayouts fare when the server has a token, or a labelled sample when it does not. Hotel, food, and local transport start as illustrative amounts you can change. This is not a quote.
Trip budget questions
Is the trip budget a quote?
No. The total adds a flight amount to hotel, food, and local transport amounts on the form. Hotel, food, and local transport start as round illustrative numbers, not surveyed prices and not hotel quotes. You can type over every box. Takeotrip does not hold a seat or a room at that total.
Where does the flight amount come from?
The form asks the same cached-fare search used on the flights pages, for one adult, round trip, in rupees, then multiplies by the travellers. If the server has no fare token, the line says sample and is not a cached price. If nothing comes back, the flight box stays at what you typed, including zero. The search link uses the trip-budget marker path.
How are nights and rooms counted?
Nights are the days between the departure date and the return date. The return date is not an extra night. Rooms start at one for every two travellers, rounded up, and you can change that number. Hotel is per room per night. Food and local transport are per person per night. There is no automatic tax or buffer.
Why is the destination total missing?
The second total uses European Central Bank reference rates from the currency converter. It appears only when that currency is in the loaded set. The dirham, for example, is not in the ECB set, so a Dubai trip shows rupees only. The rate is not a bank buying rate. Assumptions are written in docs/TRIP-BUDGET.md.
