If I had a $$ for everyone who asks for a deal “during school holidays please” i’d be a millionaire.. which I’m not. So here are some cold hard truths.
No deals during peak times
School holidays = peak travel season. It’s like hoping to find a bargain on Christmas Eve at a shopping mall—it’s just not realistic. Prices are set to reflect the high demand.
You’re not the only one with the same idea
Everyone wants to go to the same places at the same time. It’s like the travel equivalent of trying to find an empty parking spot in a mall parking lot during a holiday weekend.
The “wait-and-see” strategy backfires
Procrastination is expensive in the travel world. The longer you hold out, the fewer options are available, and the prices climb as the cheaper options get snapped up.
Flexibility and planning are your friends
Maybe one thing people don’t always realise is how much early planning or flexibility with dates and locations can make a huge difference in cost. If you can avoid the peak windows, you could save significantly. If you can’t avoid peak times, book as soon as you come up with the idea to holiday.
