What we have learned planning trips.

The order we plan in, what is worth booking early, how much to fit in a day, and what to check before you spend money on a plan someone else wrote.

Money, airport manners and a hire car can reveal a lot about the person beside you.

The order we use, from the shape of the trip to the backups, without 40 tabs open.

What runs out, what never needs booking, and the checks that save the most money.

Start with the time you actually have, not a number you read somewhere.

The checks worth doing on any plan, whether it came from a blog, a friend or an AI.

Split the day, name one non negotiable each, and agree the pace out loud.

Cheaper without being worse, starting with the trains and the set lunch.

An afternoon arrival, one full day and a flight home, planned around the flights you booked.
