When is the best time to book your honeymoon?

Air is published about 10 months before departures.  Once it’s published, it has different fare codes.  The cheapest codes sell out first, which is why the longer you wait these days before purchasing a ticket, the less options you have.  Airlines don’t add more planes or seats to a route (Chicago to Cancun for instance) when it starts to fill up and sell out.  Popular routes these days can fill up a month before your departure.

But what if I purchase my honeymoon package so that the air is good, and the hotel ends up going on sale later on? 

If you booked this on your own, you are probably out of luck.  Vacations With Flair helps clients deal with this question all the time.  No problem!  If a hotel drops in price after we book it, we’ll do the work of getting a price match.  No extra work involved for you!  Our clients get the benefit of “last minute” deals without having to wait last minute.

How far in advance should I book a honeymoon?

When it comes to booking a honeymoon, the earlier you book, the better. You won’t be able to go more than 10 months out because flights won’t open up until that time, but these first few months don’t typically fill up or fluctuate in price until your departure draws near, so why lock yourself in. That said, it’s only a matter of time before the cost of an international flight creeps up. Typically, it’ll start rising slowly from the six-month mark until about 90 days out. At 90 days, costs start going up until about a month before departure, at which point prices will fluctuate wildly (mostly up). Knowing all this, it’s best to book a honeymoon about six or more months out, but no later than three months out unless you want to dramatically overpay.

Should I try to book my own honeymoon?

It’s easy to think that you can do it all. Search a flight aggregator, pick a destination and book. But what happens if one of your connecting flights gets cancelled or delayed? Or what if prices hit rock bottom and you’re left with an expensive hotel stay or a costly flight? If you booked your own honeymoon, you may have little recourse. Sure, you could try and rebook, juggling hotel stays and complicated flight layovers and connections, but you’ll likely be hit with fees — and there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to rebook the same experience. That’s where we come in. Give us the perfect dates for you and your partner and we’ll book your honeymoon on your behalf without you lifting a finger. If prices drop, we’ll help you get a price match. Or if things change and you need to push everything back or up a day, we’ll work tirelessly to help you organize the honeymoon of your dreams.
