If only we could all travel like royalty. Whether they're heading off to a far-flung destination or merely hopping aboard the Royal Train for a domestic engagement, the royal family really knows how to travel in style — and it's not always cheap.

The 2017 annual report from Buckingham Palace revealed that the royal family spent roughly $6 million on travel in the past year, a staggering sum by almost any standard. Some of those trips were vacations, others official government trips and a good few seemed to be a bit of both. Click through to see how the royals like to travel.

· Total cost of trip: $129,187

· Household: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

· Method of travel: Scheduled flight, charter

Prince William and Kate Middleton's official Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) visit to India and neighboring Bhutan was one of the costliest excursions of the year. Chalk it up to a hefty transportation bill for these wealthy royal family members, with scheduled flights from London Heathrow Airport to Delhi and back, along with charter flights to spots like Tezpur, Pero and Agra.

But the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge certainly packed a lot into their trip, which stretched from April 9 to 17, 2016. In addition to meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and laying a wreath at the India Gate to honor the Indian regiments who served in World War I, the couple managed to squeeze in an open-air safari in Kaziranga National Park, and tried their hands at archery — Bhutan's national sport — in Paro, Bhutan.

· Household: The queen and the Duke of Edinburgh

· Method of travel: Charter, S76 helicopter

Queen Elizabeth II's first official engagement following Britain's "Brexit" vote to leave the EU saw Her Majesty the Queen travel to Northern Ireland on June 27 to 28, 2016. She was accompanied by her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

The queen met with First Minister Arlene Foster and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness before taking a scenic drive on the Giant's Causeway and attended the unveiling of the Robert Quigg VC memorial statue in Bushmills with Prince Philip.

While it wasn't the costliest trip the royal family made all year, the charter flight to Belfast — along with use of The Queen's Helicopter Flight — made it anything but cheap.

· Total cost of trip: $96,958

· Household: The Prince of Wales

· Method of travel: Charter

Members of the royal family don’t often travel to Israel, but Prince Charles made an exception on Sept. 29, 2016, joining other world leaders — including former President Barack Obama — to attend the funeral of former Israeli President Shimon Peres.

Charter flights from Aberdeen to Ben Gurion Airport and back made the trip a costly one. But it gave Prince Charles a rare opportunity to visit the grave of his paternal grandmother while in Jerusalem.
