Well, is it? I'm asking YOU!
Sometimes, we save money by booking ahead. This could be for hotel, airfare, tourist attractions, restaurants, etc. Sometimes, we save by booking at the last minute.
I've paid very little for flying to New York during holidays by booking it almost 6 months in advance. I then talk to others traveling around that time, and find out that they paid the same by booking it a few days before.
So which is better? Where do you find the most savings? Are you "better safe than sorry" or "later is better than nothing"?
Where do you find the best deals for the best booking times? Is it better to book ahead for airfare and save the tourist attractions for when you get to your destination? Write a comment and let me know!
Airfare prices generally tend to go up the longer you wait. So book airfare first. Tourist attractions are usually at a set price. So that could wait until you're at your destination. Hotel rates are based on the time of year. So plan a vacation that's off peak.
ReplyDeleteThis is typically true. That is a good point! Planning off peak will reduce your costs for everything by a bunch.
