How it works
How we score, and why you can trust it.
No brochure talk. Every number on this site is worked out from real weather and flight data, and nobody can pay to change it.
Seven blue dots
How good the place is, all year. Seven is a place we’d send our own mammy to.
Worth the bother
A score out of ten for this trip, from your airport, in this month. It can say no.
Weather match
How well the usual weather fits what you asked for. Snow, sun or a good walk.
The scale
Worth the bother, out of ten.
We work it out from how much better the weather is for what you want, how long the flight is, how good the place is, whether something’s on, and, when we have enough fares, whether the month is dear or cheap.
We use the usual weather for the month, so one freak day can’t swing it.

Our promises
The things we won’t do.
We never invent weather or prices.
No data, no number. We say so instead.
Affiliate links never change a score.
Some links earn us a small commission. That money goes straight on sun cream.
We promise nothing about the weather.
Snow and the Northern Lights can’t be guaranteed. We tell you the odds and the season.
We tell you when it isn’t worth it.
Sometimes staying at home is the better option. We’ll say so.
Spotted something wrong?
Tell us. Fares change, weather changes and we’re only human. We read everything.
Drop us a line
Every message is read by a real person. Corrections get fixed fast, especially if you’ve just come back from the place and it rained all week.
