Data Report
We ranked 15 international destinations by total 7-day trip cost — flight + hotel × 7 + daily spend × 7 — using live flight and hotel data. Fares found from New York (JFK).
Published January 15, 2026. Last updated October 8, 2026.
Every ranking is computed from our live dataset — not hand-picked, not sponsored. Flight prices come from Aviasales and Booking.com. Hotel rates come from Booking.com. Daily spending budgets come from cost-of-living data tuned for tourists. We add them together, multiply the nightly figures by 7, and sort ascending. That's the list.
Because the dataset updates daily, the ranking you see below may change tomorrow. That's the point — cheap travel windows are transient, and knowing when one opens is half the battle.
