Getting to and around, city by city
Which airport, which station, what the transfer really costs and how long it really takes — the parts of a trip that decide the day, for 1 cities so far.
A destination page here is not a brochure. It answers the questions that actually change a booking: which of a city’s airports to fly into and what the transfer from each costs door to door, whether the train beats the plane on a given route, whether a hire car is an asset or a liability, and which neighbourhood puts you within reach of the things you came for.
Each city has a page per travel mode, because the answers genuinely differ — the right advice about arriving at New York by air has almost nothing in common with the right advice about arriving by coach. Every figure names the authority it came from and the date it was checked.
Cities covered so far
Cities are added in small batches, as the research behind them is done and checked. That is slower than generating a page per city from a template, and it is the difference between a page worth reading and a page that merely exists.
Common questions
How do you choose which cities to cover?
By whether we can say something specific and checkable about getting into and around them. A city page here is only worth publishing if it can name the airports, the stations, the real transfer times and the local rules — so cities are added in small batches as that research is done, rather than generated from a list.
Why is my city not here yet?
Almost certainly because it has not been researched yet rather than because it was ruled out. There are 1 so far. If you would like a particular city covered, say so — requests genuinely do decide the order.
Do these pages show live prices?
No. This site publishes no fares, rates or availability for anything you book. What it publishes is the published stuff — transit fares, tolls, taxes, timetabled journey times — each with the authority it came from and the date it was checked. For a price on a specific date you continue to a provider.
How current is a city page?
Every page carries the date its figures were checked, and lists its sources at the bottom so you can verify any of them yourself. Transport authorities change fares and rebuild terminals; where something is mid-change we say so rather than quietly leaving an old number up.
