Practical worksheets for comparing the full cost of a trip.

A lower flight fare can come with a longer transfer or extra baggage charges. Route & Receipt helps you put the costs for the same trip side by side.

What goes into the comparison?

The workbook adds the fare for each traveller, the bags and extras your group actually needs, and your chosen airport transport plan. It shows the total for the whole group and the average per person in EUR.

An unknown charge stays visible as missing information. An offer only joins the cost comparison when all its cost categories are resolved.

Start with a fair comparison

Choose the same travellers, travel dates and journey scope for every offer. A one-way fare and a return fare belong in separate comparisons unless you first build an equivalent complete itinerary.
