Why October is the Best Month to Start Planning Your Holiday Travel
Okay, let’s be real—October sneaks up on us every year. One minute we’re sipping pumpkin spice lattes, the next minute Mariah Carey is defrosting and flights are triple the price. 😅
If you’ve been thinking, “I’ll book my holiday trip later,” consider this your sign that October is the sweet spot for holiday travel planning. Here’s why:
1. Flights Are Cheaper (Right Now!)
Airlines love to play games with holiday pricing. By mid-November, fares start skyrocketing. Booking in October usually means you’ll still catch those mid-range prices before the big holiday rush hits. A few weeks can literally save you hundreds of dollars!
2. The Best Hotels & Rentals Are Still Available
Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy cabin, a beachfront escape, or a luxury adults-only resort (my specialty 😉), October is the time to snag those prime spots. Wait too long and you’ll be left with “last room available” at triple the price.
3. Stress-Free Planning = Better Holidays
Traveling during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s is already chaotic. Booking now gives you the peace of mind to actually enjoy the season instead of scrambling for flights while everyone else is already packing.
4. More Time to Budget & Pay
Booking early means you can spread out payments instead of dropping one giant chunk of cash at the last minute. Trust me—your wallet will thank you.
5. Special Deals Drop in October
Here’s a little insider tip: many resorts and cruise lines roll out holiday promos in October to fill their rooms before the frenzy. That means more perks, upgrades, and sometimes even free nights if you book now.
October is truly the “golden month” for locking in your holiday travel plans. If you wait until November, you’ll be battling limited options and higher prices. But book in October? You’ll get the best deals, the best choices, and the gift of peace of mind.
✨ So if you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to plan your holiday getaway—it’s right now. ✨
