Trip budgets & itineraries
Start with an itemised budget, then compare room sharing, transport, weather and the costs your trip actually includes.
Start here
- Tokyo budget: a HK$8,000 per-person worked example
Use HK$8,000 per person as a planning ceiling for Tokyo, not a promised fare package. This worked example is for two adults sharing one room for 7 nights and 8 days. Every figure is a modelled allocation, not a current hotel or airline quote.
- Vietnam budget: a HK$10,000 per-person worked example
Use HK$10,000 per person as a planning ceiling for Vietnam, not a promised fare package. This worked example is for two adults sharing one room for 6 nights and 7 days. Every figure is a modelled allocation, not a current hotel or airline quote.
- Seoul budget: a HK$5,000 per-person worked example
Use HK$5,000 per person as a planning ceiling for Seoul, not a promised fare package. This worked example is for two adults sharing one room for 3 nights and 4 days. Every figure is a modelled allocation, not a current hotel or airline quote.
