Maybe your stomach’s in knots from scrolling page after page of overpriced flights. Or maybe you’ve been feverishly frustrated with finding the right hotel. At one point or another, we all experience the pains of trip planning. Here are our best remedies for getting the ouch out of your search.

Symptom: Scheduling stress. 😫

If figuring out when to fly has your head spinning, use our Price Calendar. Just click on the dates panel to get a month’s-eye-view of when airfare is cheapest. For those with looser timelines, Flexible Dates let you explore your options.

Symptom: Decision fatigue. 😮‍💨
Our fix: Fare Comparison, Review Summaries.

Having choices can be great – but also exhausting. That’s why we break down important info to make your decision easy. Need to zero in on a flight? Turn to Fare Comparisons to see how much more that extra legroom’s worth. Not sold on where to stay? Hit our Review Summaries. These give you a gist of what travelers loved (and didn’t love) about their hotel.

Symptom: Travel buddy trouble. 😬
Our fix: Total Price, Social Sharing.

We know what strikes travel groups’ nerves – that’s why we include the total price (and cost per person) in our results. PS you can also share flights with your text or email thread so everyone’s on board.

BTW… we found the antidote to planning paralysis. 👀
