Build a realistic travel budget

Separate the costs you know in advance, such as flights and accommodation, from everyday expenses like transport, meals and activities. Include a contingency for changed plans and check which currencies you will need.

When comparing bookings, read the total price and the cancellation policy. A lower upfront price can come with restrictions or extra charges that matter if your plans change.

Prepare more than one way to pay

Check whether your payment methods are supported at your destination. Review foreign-exchange charges, cash withdrawal limits and any steps required to use a card abroad. Keep a backup payment method separate from your primary one where practical.

Protect your devices with strong access controls. Be careful with public Wi-Fi and unexpected payment links, and keep a secure record of the information you would need to contact your provider if something goes wrong.

Keep your bookings and payment records together

Save your booking confirmations, receipts and provider contact details in a place you can access while travelling. Check important booking details, including passenger names, dates and local time zones, before paying.

Manilla’s travel services support eligible flight and hotel bookings using stablecoins. Availability, payment terms and booking conditions depend on the service and destination. Confirm the details before booking; no payment method removes the need to review travel requirements and supplier policies.
