How these estimates are calculated
Each total includes round-trip flight estimates, accommodation, food, local transportation, activities, and an extras buffer where the destination dataset includes those inputs. Flights are treated as a fixed trip cost per traveler. Daily categories are multiplied by trip length and number of travelers.
Amounts are planning estimates, not live booking prices. Flights and hotels can vary by dates, season, availability, exchange rates, baggage, booking timing, departure city, and travel style. The current dataset is modeled in CAD and converted for display when another currency is selected.
