It’s soon time to start planning your summer vacation. It’s definitely a good thing to have something to look forward to later in the year. Therefore it’s time to start thinking about your 2024 getaway.
Planning your vacation ahead of time is fun; if you do it in January, it can easily motivate you to work well through the first half of the year. It’s not just a myth that if you plan with your accommodation, flights, and activities you can often find the best deals and save yourself some money. This is especially true in the new year, a lot of holiday companies put out deals and offers to entice people into booking their holiday for later in the year.
Let’s have a look at some of the best tips below:
You might think that it’s far too early to book your holiday, however, this just isn’t true. Most holiday companies will agree that January is the perfect time to plan a trip in June, July, or August. This way you can have a huge range of things to choose from. For example, if you want to rent a villa with pool you will have more choices in January than if you wait until the month before. The summer is one of the most popular times to travel, so you will benefit from booking ahead of time.
If you want to save money on your holiday, the best thing you can do is to be flexible on your dates. Even moving your holiday by a few days can save hundreds if not thousands. Of course, if you are trying to go in the school holidays this is a little harder but you could always think about traveling in the autumn rather than the summer. Try doing a variety of searches to find the best deal. Some websites will show you that you can get a cheaper deal if you book a few days later or earlier. The earlier you can book the better.
You will probably be used to seeing many bundles or package deals on offer, however, these aren’t always the best choice when looking to save money. You may find cheaper deals if you pick and choose your flights, accommodation, and activities separately. You can choose the flights that suit you better, you could even book a different amount of days other than being limited to 7, 10, or 14 days. Have a play around and see how much you can save by doing it this way. Yes, package deals can be convenient, but if you have some time it’s certainly worth shopping around and building your own.
