Knowing how much to set aside for your plane tickets, arguably the most expensive element of any big trip, before you start planning will give you a huge jump on getting a satisfactory budget together. It will also give you a realistic idea of the cost of the total endeavor.

Not sure where to find out how much the plane tickets are going to cost? TripPlanner should be your first—if not only—answer.

Turns out a lot of people are misinformed about how much these kind of tickets cost. TripPlanner gives you instant pricing, which means you don’t have to be in the dark, or decide on a route and wait days to get a specialized response, or be forced to use a generic trip to start your planning not tailored to your needs simply because it’s there.

With TripPlanner you pick your destinations and get an estimate in the form of a price range immediately, along with options for additional stops and alternate destinations. You can also reorganize, reverse, remove or add places and reprice the trip right away. The results are extremely accurate and useful for setting up budgets.

TripPlanner may be the most painless way on the Web to help determine the costs of an around the world or multi-stop international plane ticket. It works to eliminate any questions you might have about their actual expense and gives results immediately. It’s one of the best tools available anywhere, so take advantage of it.

You can even submit your trip to a Travel Consultant directly through the application so you won’t lose any work.
