TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

The ticket
is not the whole trip.

Mobile data, a transfer, a rental car and compensation — the four things that come after the ticket. Each finishes on the provider’s own site.

Search and booking run on our partners’ interfaces; they set the prices and conditions, and we do not verify them item by item. The interfaces are in English.

Mobile data abroad

eSIM data packs for more than 200 countries. No card to swap; the phone connects once you land.

Airport transfer

A fixed-price transfer from the airport to your accommodation, booked in advance. The price is per car, not per person.

Car hire

Compares rental cars across providers. Read the insurance and deposit terms before booking.

Delayed flight compensation

EU regulation 261/2004 entitles you to compensation for long delays and cancellations. Check here whether your flight qualifies.

Count usable days as well as nights

The number of booked nights does not show how much time remains for the reason you are travelling. Begin with the first and last day: when do you leave home, reach the neighbourhood you chose and start the journey back?

Thoughtful travel2 min

Coordinate different needs while travelling

Different needs on a shared trip often become visible only after the day has started. Begin with a brief conversation about what each person requires to participate comfortably.

Keep booking information in one place

A central place for booking information can be a short overview linking to original documents. You do not need to copy every confirmation and condition into a single long text.

Track booking details and payments

A booking log should record more than the fact that you selected something. Distinguish an enquiry, a confirmed reservation, partial payment and completed payment.
