Budget travel works best when you optimize sequence, not just prices.

Spend allocation model

$$ Daily\ Budget = Ticket + Transit + Food + Buffer $$

Low-cost strategy

Book ticket early to avoid expensive last-minute alternatives.
Use mixed transport model (public outbound or return).
Eat local set meals away from peak plaza timing.
Keep one emergency buffer for weather or transport changes.

Sample budget table

Category	Priority
Ticket	Non-negotiable
Transport	Flexible
Food	Optimizable
Extras	Optional

The cheapest day is not always the best day. Spend where it protects experience quality.
