When you think of summer, you immediately think of holiday. Often times, you can't start early enough with plans for your summer holiday. But what about a holiday during winter? Do you only have to book it in autumn, or half a year in advance? Well, we can clarify this: May is the best time to plan your winter holiday in the sun. Why? Let us explain!
Cheaper flight tickets
In general the following applies: the earlier you book, the bigger the change of finding affordable tickets. If the flight tickets have just become available, demand is still low and there are many available seats. This means that you often have to pay less for your tickets. But if you want to book a ticket last minute, there are fewer available seats, which usually means you'll have to pay more. Since flights for the winter season usually go on sale at the end of April, and you receive your holiday pay in May, May is the perfect time to book your flight tickets. You can actually get more holidays out of your holiday pay by buying the cheapest ticket possible. This way, you can fly to sunny destinations like Tenerife, Ibiza, Faro, or Malaga at an affordable price.
More choice of flight times and travel dates
It sounds logical, and it is. The earlier you book the more choice you have of flight times and travel dates. The airplanes are not fully booked yet, which means you have more than enough choice. Besides, your holiday period is probably not yet fixed, which gives you the flexibility to choose the best deal. Speaking of flexibility: did you know that Flex allows you to postpone your departure date and time up to 12 hours before departure for a small extra fee?
Less stress and more excitement
Doesn't everyone want a stress-free holiday? Why then create more stress by looking for last minute flights and accommodation? Book far in advance and enjoy an extra long build up of excitement. You now have more than enough time to make a plan your trip and book activities at your destination.
So don't wait and check out our destinations. Planning your next holiday can truly begin!
Available accommodation on location
Not only do your flight tickets get more expensive and are less available the later you book, but also accommodations. So reserve your accommodation as soon as you book your flight tickets. Then you can also avoid that last bit of stress. And did you know that Transavia Holidays arranges your flight, accommodation, and transport all in 1? Everything is in 1 place, so that you won't have bookings at different organisations. So handy.
