Planning your itinerary can be overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be!

Here I’ll take you through a step-by-step process of planning a travel itinerary.

Google is your Friend

Writing this, I realized I probably have an unhealthy reliance on Google suite in my daily life, but who doesn’t, with the amazing products they release?

Ignoring the fact that you are the product, let’s dive into the various Google tools I use for planning my trip.

1. Find a flight

Google Flights displays prices month-to-month, something other sites do not do.

I use Google Flights to narrow down airlines and dates, because it gives you a great spectrum of dates and prices. Most airlines websites only let you see price variations for up to 7 days before/after your selected date.

Make sure you change the currency to your own currency. I have been disappointed many times because prices were displayed in USD, which is slightly stronger than my home currency.
