Travel Estimator: a clearer budget

Begin with the whole journey
A flight price is only one part of a trip. Travel Estimator brings transport, accommodation, daily spending, extras, and a contingency into one explained planning budget.

Keep the source visible
Base costs are illustrative estimates. Configured providers can return dated flight quotes and venue information. The interface distinguishes those sources instead of presenting every number as a current booking price.

Protect the selected quote
Before applying a flight, the server checks who selected it, the route, travel dates, and party size. A selection older than fifteen minutes must be refreshed. The browser cannot simply invent verified quote metadata.

Make the price basis explicit
For example, seven hundred dollars at an assumed rate of two hundred eighty Pakistani rupees becomes one hundred ninety-six thousand rupees for a group. If it is a per-person fare, two travellers double that flight amount.

Replace once, then recalculate
The selected flight replaces the sample transport line once. Other costs remain. The subtotal and contingency are recalculated, while baggage, transfers, and seller fees still need separate confirmation.

Be honest when data is missing
A provider may return no photos, no usable offers, or a quota error. The app explains that result. It does not replace missing live data with invented bargains. A saved plan is a snapshot, not a reservation.
