5 reasons to book your next holiday early

In my experience of booking holidays for my clients over the years I have seen the same annual patterns emerge when it comes to the ‘early birds’ compared with the ‘last minute bookers’. Every year I spend time making some specific comparisons on holidays I have booked for my clients and studied the price difference between bookings made 10 months in advance versus 10 weeks in advance. I have seen clients pay up to 40% more on accommodation alone, before the cost difference in the flight prices which can be double what you would pay if you book them as early as possible. Most airlines publish their fares around 11 months in advance which is the best time to grab yourself a seat at the lowest price. From there on, it’s a case of supply and demand driving the price up and up and up…. Those who are savvy enough to book their Summer holidays between October – January pay deposits as low as £270 and get a far better deal than those who wait until much nearer the time, and they save themselves thousands of pounds. They also get their first choice when it comes to selecting their preferred hotel, room type and view because availability is plentiful. The same goes for other peak travel periods such as Easter and Christmas. If you want to take your family to the Caribbean at Easter you will save a fortune if you book it in June or July the year before rather than waiting until January. And if you fancy a festive escape to warmer climates over the Christmas period, I recommend booking something in January or February to beat the rush and bag yourself a bargain.
