Which meal plan should you choose?
City breaks
Room only or B&B usually makes most sense. You'll spend the day out and can try local restaurants.
Remote or resort stays
Half board or full board can save money and effort when there are few places to eat nearby, such as at ski resorts or countryside hotels.
Beach holidays with family
All-inclusive is the easiest option if you want predictable costs and plan to stay at the hotel most of the time.
How to pick a meal plan on trip1
Open any hotel on trip1 and compare the available rates. The same room is often offered with different meal plans at different prices. Choose the one you want, then pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC or another supported coin.
