Travel Info Is it advisable to have an early reservation for flights and hotel accommodation like 4 - 5 mos earlier? Travel Tips it really depends if you're all set with the airline and the hotel, if it's your top pick and undoubtedly you will not change your mind, then by all means do it. the problem I see in reserving 4 or 5 months in advance is that sometimes we do change our minds and wishes we didn't book that early. but it is also helpful in letting go of some stress out of your system because you will already have a peace of mind knowing that you are already booked with a flight and accommodation. if you will do this for cost reasons, note that it always doesn't follow. sometimes promotions do come up from time to time. if you think you got a best deal then go for it, never think twice. Although 5 months is a long time, there is a high probability that your mind will change. I usually do it at least 1-2 months in advance. Others It depends. Generally, it's cheaper to reserve flights earlier. However, sometimes, there are deals and discounts AFTER you purchased tickets and reserved rooms. It would also depend if it's peak season. I think it's way too early to reserve a ticket 4-5 months earlier. Two months is fine. Yes, the longer you wait, the more it costs. At least for the plane tickets. Deoends on the destination and if there is a major event happening then. For example, air tickets are more expensive if you want to travel after the 20 of December every year. If there's a major business conference or exhibition, then you better book the hotel early. Some hotels are pre-booked by companies in advance as they are major exhibitors. Yes, it is advisable especially if came from abroad. You don't need to worry if you've got your airline and hotel accommodations early as possible. Because sometimes 2 or 3 months is not enough. Because of the availability changes. If it's for a place you need visas to, like if you're a Filipino citizen going to Europe, you need to sort out your documentations months early because some consulates take a month or so to process visas. To arrange flights, it is sometimes advisable to book early, although 4 to 5 months may be too early. Some promos do not come out until about 50 days before travel dates. Look our for fire sales, last minute discount trips, and early bird promos for the best prices. If it will be on a very peak period (like Christmas, New Year) and the destination has limited hotel rooms and airline seats, 4 to 5 months will be just fine. Sooree! The airlines won't let you make a reservation that far ahead. The reason is that they keep changing prices, and sometimes even schedules. The hotel is a good idea though, because they just write down your name in the book while they still have openings. If you're afraid that the flight and hotel dates might not agree, the hotel will be glad to change it around. I'd say, make both reservations about 1 month ahead. |
