Trip Planning

Turning an idea into a trip, from itineraries and budgets to trains and flights, for readers in the weeks before they book.

  • 1 dispatch

A trip takes shape in the weeks before booking: how many days, in which order, what it costs and how to get between places. Plan the meals first and fit the rest around them. One dinner booking can fix the night you arrive, and a market that shuts on Mondays decides where Monday goes.

How to plan a food trip turns that into a method, day by day: a grid of meals, one booked meal a day, closing days and market days checked, and the sights and trains fitted into the gaps.
