When is it cheaper to book a holiday?

Question

im trying to plan a holiday for myself and some friends, but dont know wether to book it now or in jan.

we're planning to go on an all inclusive to mexico, cancun on the 6th july for two weeks. at the moment the price is £950. do u think the price will go down in jan?

Answer 1

It would probably be cheaper 3 or 4 months in advance.

Answer 2

We always book well in advance as the flights always tend to be cheaper. I think if you have a specific place in mind then book early as the later you book the less choice you may have - I always say you get what you pay for, if you wnat cheap you'll get cheap. If you're not fussy and happy with an allocation on arrival then wait, if not I wouldn't.

Answer 3

cheaper about 2days before you can.....if you can afford to wait.

Answer 4

Try travelrepublic.co.uk i got a great deal to portugal last september.

Answer 5

I don't think it will get any cheaper until last minute deals for that time come available (about 1 month before you go). But you will have to be flexible with this. i.e not depend on a specific hotel.

You might end up with less choice in Jan (we did that this year when booking to go to Kenya). The original room combination we wanted was fully booked so we ended up paying about £250 each extra for an upgraded room which we didn't really want but we were set on the dates we needed to go.

You'll have a fab time...May I recommend the Riu Caribe in Cancun for all inclusive. We went there last year and had the best time ever!!! First Choice is good to go with the entertainment, food and legroom on the flights is excellent even in economy!

Answer 6

It has to be cheaper in January.
