Focusing only on the headline flight price overlooks common airline extras, especially on budget carriers.
Assuming carry-on is free or skipping seat selection fee check.
Resort fees and city taxes can inflate your final bill by 20% or more. Always check the fine print for “mandatory local taxes.”
Airport booths often take a massive cut through hidden spread rates. Stick to ATMs and travel-friendly credit cards.
From tourist traps to taxi surge pricing, small costs add up. Public transport and pre-booking are your best friends.
Everything you need to know about hidden fees.
Checked baggage, carry-on on budget airlines, seat selection, and sometimes printing boarding passes at the airport. Always check specific airline policies.
Avoid airport exchanges; use ATMs for local currency (check bank fees) or credit cards with no foreign transaction fees. Always choose local currency billing.
Often unavoidable if staying at a hotel that charges them. Check booking terms for full cost upfront. Direct booking may offer more transparency.

This is the 2nd time we have used Desmo Travel and they were terrific. They spent a lot of time trying to tweak our itinerary to our needs and requests. The whole trip went like clockwork and we had excellent in-country guides and great hotels.
Best experience and service provided by Bhavesh. He is a true gentleman and extremely thorough with his work. Definitely the most stress-free experience especially due to COVID. He knows all the COVID restrictions and guidelines and will ensure you are in the safest hands! Great work and thank you for all the good work! I will definitely be booking here more in future.
My trip was very smooth without any issues. The price of Desmo Travels are also very competitive and they provide what they commit. Hotel services, staff support, and young instructor are really very supportive.
