Terms & conditions

Effective 25 September 2026. By using Month to Go you accept these terms. The heart of them: everything on this site is a planning estimate, offered in good faith, and none of it is a quote, a guarantee or professional advice.

What this site is

Month to Go is a free, informational travel-planning tool. It suggests when to visit each country and what a trip might roughly cost. It sells nothing, books nothing and is not affiliated with any airline, hotel or booking service.

Flight times

Flight times are estimated nonstop air time from your chosen start city, rounded to the nearest half hour. Very long routes may require a connection, which adds time. Actual schedules vary by airline, season, routing and winds.

Travel windows

The travel windows are general guidance for weather and headline events. Regional differences inside large countries are noted where they matter, but local conditions vary; a window being “open” is not a promise of good weather. Click a country row on the year board for the reasoning behind each window.

Budget figures

Budget figures are ballpark, per person, shown in your start city’s currency — or any currency you pick from the selector — at fixed approximate exchange rates: a return economy fare shown as an off-peak-to-peak range, a mid-range room with two sharing, and a daily allowance for food, entry fees and getting around. Safari lodges, gorilla permits, ski passes, festivals and school-holiday dates push costs well above these figures. Real prices depend on when and where you book, and the built-in conversions are indicative only — never a live exchange rate.

Multi-stop routes

The multi-stop planner chains several destinations into one itinerary. Its flight figures are one-way, leg-by-leg estimates derived from distance, and they are rougher than the single-trip ranges: real multi-city and one-way fares vary more than returns, and no airline, alliance routing or stopover pricing is consulted. The “months that suit every stop” line is a simple overlap of each destination’s typical windows, not a guarantee of weather. Treat every multi-stop total strictly as a planning number, and check live fares before booking.

City and regional picks

Alongside countries, the planner offers a small number of city or regional destinations (for example Miami, California, Milan and Kyoto). These are priced from their own arrival airport with their own typical costs and seasons, which can differ from the wider country’s figures. The same estimate caveats apply.

Accounts, the planner and collaboration

An account is optional and free. Keep your sign-in details to yourself, give us a real email address, and use one account per person. Your plans and notes remain yours; you give us only the permission needed to store them and show them to you, to contributors you invite, and to anyone holding a read-only share link you created. Do not put unlawful, abusive or other people’s private content in trip notes.

Collaboration works the way the buttons say: the plan’s owner decides. A contributor with “Editing permission granted” changes the plan directly; one who is “Subject to approval” submits suggestions the owner can approve or reject, one by one or all together. Owners can change a contributor’s permission or remove them at any time, and removal is immediate. A read-only share link shows the plan to anyone who has the link, without an account, until the owner switches it off.

We may suspend or delete accounts that abuse the service (bulk scraping, spam invitations, attempts to break in) and, as a small free service, we may need to change or retire account features — where reasonably possible with notice on this page. You can export your plan as a printable summary at any time, and delete your account yourself on the account page.

Your responsibility

Always check current travel advisories, visa and entry requirements, and health guidance from official sources before booking or travelling. Decisions you make based on this site are your own.

No warranty and limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from use of the site or reliance on its contents. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Content and sharing

The design, text and data compilation on this site belong to Month to Go. You are welcome — encouraged — to share links to the site, including the pre-filled trip links the share buttons create. Please don’t republish the dataset wholesale or present the site’s content as your own. Corrections are warmly received at [email protected].

Third-party services

Share buttons open third-party platforms (such as WhatsApp, Telegram or X); your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, not ours.

Changes

These terms may be updated from time to time; the current version, with its effective date, always lives on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
