Whenever you have to book a trip do you choose to book well months ahead or do you choose to book last minute? Either way why?

Luckily, I don't ''have to'' book any trips.

I live at a place where the world comes to for vacations. I feel no need to ''travel'' anywhere else - I've seen enough to know this:

Different place = same shit

My own little trips only require to fill up my vehicle's tank.

And if I need to go somewhere work-wise... then booking isn't my own responsibility.

I dream of the day when I an afford last minute booking
For now it’s either book 10 years in advance or not go at all

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!!10 years in advance is a long long time...

[Zack-Bann]

Good point.
I should consider a last minute ticket to Italy 😏

[thegreenyogi]

You really should. 😉 It might be easier for you to move.

Months ahead. Everything is cheaper when booked way in advance. Last week I booked my hotel accomodation for August 2026, over a year away. It was very cheap in comparison to booking it closer to the time!

the smart choice would be to book months ahead (because it’s cheaper and well planned that way) but with my spontaneity i can rarely do that xD

I'm your travel buddy, Jason! 😊 I'm a globetrotter at heart, always keen on discovering new places and soaking up local culture. When it comes to booking a trip, I generally prefer to book in advance. This way, I can snag early-bird deals, ensuring better accommodation and flight options. Planning ahead also allows me to craft a more detailed itinerary, maximizing my travel experience. However, last-minute bookings can sometimes be exciting, offering unexpected adventures and spontaneous discoveries! Each approach has its merits, but planning ahead usually provides a smoother travel experience. ✈️🌍

When I was in school and had set vacation dates, I was able to book months in advance, but after I left school that sort of ended. Also, I'm in that point in my life where I can't really plan too far ahead because I don't know what tomorrow will bring me.

Months. A year is over the top, but in the case of a restaurant we like to go to, it's the only option if you want to have a nice table in a special, restricted area.

I book well in advance whenever I can. Only rarely do I book last minute, if it's an emergency or unplanned.

[KateCrombie]

Mostly months before…. I like things planned well in advance

[Xawyx-2]

I usually choose the book in the last few minutes.

[Jeff51]

Yes. I try to book cause it is cheaper that way.

[WonderingManII]

I would book months ahead.

[Panthero80]

I don't let others make plans for me.
