Cyclone Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I don't have time to create a poll, maybe a mod can add one. So how long in advance do you book? Personally it varies, the longest in advance is about 6 months, I just booked a snowboarding course for February. I only booked that so far in advance because it sells out quickly. For summer holidays, I tend to book the time off work when I can, but then book the holiday about a fortnight in advance. In fact that works for some winter holidays as well, just not big groups or courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I tend to book 9/12 months in advance so I have time to save up! Theres always school trips to pay for too, but luckily they give you loads of notice for them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudgun Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 We normally book 6 monts or so in advance as you know what to save for then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 It varies wildly according to circumstances. There are a couple of places where we book for the following year on our way home from this one; there are other holidays that I don't book until a day or two before we're leaving, then we just go to wherever we ended up being able to book.

x-GiGgLeS-x Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I think it varies with us. We are off on holiday soon and I booked that 10 weeks before we was due to go. I also booked a suprise trip to Amsterdam for my partners birthday this January just gone but I had booked that in July so I could prepare everything etc without him knowing anything. I think sometimes you have to bok alittle in advance when you have children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthera Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 depending on whether i need an extra 3 months to save for extra legroom on the plane there and back, if im going to usa we book accomodation and park tickets about a year and a half in front then flights and car hire when become available.

Saffy Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I've booked three days before and I've booked a year in advance .. each have their good points and bad. Personally .. I love to book around October for the following July .. I will then look on the internet at the place I'm going to nearly every day ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Six Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 What is a 'holiday'? Seriously I've done 10 months in advance (Croatia) and 2 days in advance (Greece) and to be honest they were both in their own ways fairly crummy holidays (by the time we got to Croatia it was clear we were splitting up, and the accommodation in Greece was rubbish even taking in to account how cheap it was). Now I tend not to book, I just sling the tent in the boot, drive up to Scotland and go where the mood takes me - I've only been turned away from a campsite that was full once so far.
