Where:
- Flight Cost is based on the selected travel class and average prices for domestic flights in the USA.
- Accommodation Cost is determined by the type of accommodation chosen and average nightly rates.
- Food Cost is calculated based on average daily food expenses for travelers.
- Activities Cost includes estimated costs for popular activities and attractions.
Worked Example
Let's say you are planning a 7-day trip for 2 people. You choose business class flights, a hotel for accommodation, and include activities. Here's how the calculation works:
| Expense | Cost | Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| Flights (Business Class) | $1,200 per person | $1,200 × 2 = $2,400 |
| Accommodation (Hotel) | $150 per night | $150 × 2 × 6 = $1,800 |
| Food | $80 per day | $80 × 2 × 7 = $1,120 |
| Activities | $100 per person | $100 × 2 = $200 |
| Total | $2,400 + $1,800 + $1,120 + $200 = $5,520 |
Based on these inputs, your estimated trip cost would be $5,520.
