Are you a last-minute addict or a chronic ditherer who in the end often finds yourself on a holiday that does not really satisfy you? It is time to change approach: if you think booking a holiday early is pointless, prepare to think again. We have drawn up for you a list of seven good reasons to change your mind.

Although, of course, the important thing is to set off and not be put off by perhaps having little time to plan a trip, you will see that if you get into the habit of booking early, your holiday can give you plenty of satisfaction you would not expect.

1) You save money.

It is no myth: you can end up paying much less by booking your holiday early; on average, early booking is the best way to enjoy the most substantial discounts.

2) There is more choice.

By booking early you can weigh up which destination to choose according to your needs and tastes, without being forced to “fall back” on the last remaining availability; you can select the options you prefer and compare them to choose the one you like best.

3) You can study the destination properly.

“What, is that really there in that city? I went a month ago and had no idea!”: uttering sentences like these leaves a bitter aftertaste to the memory of your holidays, because you think that if you had had time to do a little more research your trip would certainly have been more satisfying. With an early booking you have all the time you need to learn about the places you will see, and to find out about local customs too, so as to avoid hitches and setbacks.

4) You have time to get properly organised.

Want to organise your next trip with no surprises? By booking early you can manage your commitments and deadlines in the best possible way: you decide when to pack your bags and leave!

What is more, there are unforgettable experiences to be had around the world that simply need to be organised in advance to be enjoyed. Do not let them slip away!

5) You can be sure of really going where you want.

Especially when it comes to travelling to a faraway destination you may visit only once in a lifetime, there is no sense in improvising, with the risk of finding it impossible to visit all the attractions you may always have dreamed of. Booking early, and with a tour operator, is always a good idea, but for trips you really care about it is without doubt the best way to be 100% satisfied.

6) First come, first served!

You secure the best seats on the means of transport: the old saying is right, those who book early can be sure of being assigned the most sought-after accommodation. And sometimes they pay less for it too!

7) Looking forward to your holiday is good for the mood.

It is a fact: knowing there is a trip waiting for us puts us in a good mood and motivates us to give our best in everyday life. Even on bad days, the thought that a wonderful adventure is on its way is a powerful boost to keeping spirits high.

And with Guiness Travel you have many more reasons to book early!

Choosing early booking is an excellent way to guarantee yourself a holiday that will give you all the emotions you have always dreamed of, giving you the chance to plan every detail and secure an advantageous price.

And when you travel with Guiness Travel, you will have even more advantages from booking early:
