Anybody can/want to help me double check Schengen math?
 
Hello all and thank you so much in advance to whoever ventures here.

Thanks to the wonderful help of this forum I am almost finished with my multi-country itinerary. After shuffling some things around I think we got to a good place following the recommendations received here. I have the US/Europe flights and most of the flights in between countries - taking advantage of what we think were some good offers in low-cost airlines... Anyway, hubby and I traveling, US passports, and we think we have the number of days correctly but was wondering if anybody didn't mind helping me double check? Might be silly to ask, but sometimes different eyes see different things and not sure if I'm missing something. Per my count, I have 88 days in Schengen... (I have an Excel file but I don't think I can attach it here...)

As an added question - and I know 88 days might already seem too tight...different input on this matter depending on the person - would bumping it to 89 be too risky in your opinion? I have a conversation going about that with hubby and interested to see what you guys think.

Well thank you very much! As usual much appreciation :)

No reason you shouldn't add a day if you want to. 90 days is 90days. Just don't plan on returning to Schengen too soon afterwards.

There are online calculators just for this kind of question. For example, https://ec.europa.eu/assets/home/vis...or.htm?lang=en

Her sums are correct. She counts her arrival days in Schengen, and her departure days. 88 days.

We have stayed 89 days without a problem. My only concern was if there was a flight delay. Yes it was pushing the envelope a little. Worked out fine though. The the thing that got to me was unpacking and packing up every seven days. Enjoy your trip
