We are sorry that we didn't get a chance to share a travel tip for March. So,we are going to make up for it by giving you two tips in April. Here is the first of two:
When planning a trip or vacation, the key to getting the biggest bang for your buck, is to PLAN AHEAD. Generally, the best time to start planning is eight weeks or more in advance of your travel date. That gives you or your travel agent time to research the best deals, to get you the best value for your money. You want to have your reservation made six to eight weeks before your trip, the earlier the better. The reason for this is; as the planes and hotels fill up, the prices go up as well (especially flights). If you see a deal at a good price, book it! The likelihood of the price going down is rare, especially the closer it is to your departure.
On RARE occasions a last minute deal may be had, but this shouldn't be counted upon when planning your vacation. When planning a cruise, booking five to six months out is optimal as you can cash in on early bird fares. Happy travel planning!
Good tip! Sometimes when rates go down you can rebook- like hotels. I remember we did that for our wedding and were able to upgrade our room. :)
ReplyDeleteAh yes, we will discuss later this year how to get upgraded and pay the lowest room prices for hotels. Thanks for reading these, I think Al may be editing this later this weekend, so stay tuned. :) I write, he edits.
