Why You Should Book Your 2023 Holiday Early

As the autumn hits and the winter months draw nearer and nearer, we’ve got one thing on our minds – the sunshine! And boy, oh boy, do we miss it. 

Like us, you’re probably already planning next year’s getaway – but when is the best time to book? Well, we’re here to tell you at the moment, we think it’s better to book sooner rather than later!

2023 will be here before you know it, and there’s so many reasons why you should be looking to bag next year’s getaway as soon as possible. Here’s why…

Time to get prepped

No one likes last minute stress – dashing around, digging out things that have seemingly sprouted legs and walked off, not knowing what forms and documents you need. 

Book well in advance and you have all the time in the world to prepare. Need your passport renewing? No problem. Need to sort out travel insurance? Take your time! 

You’ll have plenty of time to sort yourself out with a new holiday wardrobe, bagging bits and bobs in the January sales before summer is even in sight! 

Plus, booking early means you’ve got plenty of time to prep the fun stuff – like experiences and excursions! Give yourself plenty of time to get clued up on your dreamy destination, from the best local places to eat to the best big-name attractions. That way you’ll be sure to make the most of your time there!

You can even pre-book your must-do days out here to know they’re sorted and secured. Talk about being organised!

Secure your savings now

It seems like everything is going up and up in price at the moment. From our electricity bills to tins of beans, the cost of living is on the rise, and we’re all feeling the pinch.

All that to say it’s more important than ever to make savings where you can – and there’s usually amazing savings to be had on your holidays when booking in advance. 

For example right now, you can save up to £200 on 2023 long haul getaways*. And if you’re thinking of booking your 2023 summer holiday, Black Friday and Boxing Day are well known for serving up amazing savings! 

As the price of pretty much everything rises, it can’t be said if holidays will follow suit. But if you’ve booked holidays before, you’ll know they can change or go up and down in a matter of days, depending on availability. So booking in advance at a price you’re happy with means you can lock in those savings now, before they possibly go up! There’s no better feeling than being able to rest easy, knowing you bagged a great deal. 

Peace of mind

After all the turbulence of previous few years (the pandemic, holidays being cancelled) it’s definitely important to know your well-deserved holiday is secure and safe, and booked with a reputable company. 

Give yourself further peace of mind by booking with us and knowing your holiday is fully covered. We’re ABTA and ATOL protected, offer a package refund guarantee, and we have Feefo Platinum award-winning customer service.  

We’re part of TUI, the UK’s largest holiday provider, but we provide our own UK-based customer service – a team who’s knowledge, expertise and understanding are all just a phone call away, seven days a week.

Get excited!

Half the joy of booking a holiday is the excitement to go! Give yourself something to look forward to for the foreseeable future – when the days are drab and dreary, you can comfort yourself knowing you’ve got a sunny escape coming your way!

There’s nothing like the anticipation of a holiday, ticking off the days on your calendar and counting down the days. It can make even the most boring of days exciting! 

Get the best pick of the best hotels/rooms 

Booking early definitely has its benefits – and one of those is having full choice of your chosen hotel and room. If you have a particular hotel you love and leave it ‘til the last minute, you run the risk of being disappointed when your dates are all fully booked up. 

Likewise if you’re thinking of treating yourself to a room upgrade, it’s best to get those booked well in advance too – those swim ups soon get snatched up! 

Longer to save

Times are tough, so the longer we have to save for something, the better! Booking your holiday now means you could benefit from booking with a low deposit – that means paying very little upfront now, and paying off the rest later! 

You could book your 2023 summer holiday today, pay a low deposit, and gather the rest of the money over the coming months. The balance won’t be due on your holiday until 12 weeks before your departure date. So if you’re booking for next summer or winter, that’s ages away!

Not only that, but booking in advance gives you plenty of time to save up spending money for while you’re actually there, too. Plan everything you want to do, tot up the costs, and you’ve got a great savings goal – with plenty of time to achieve it!

Last minute holidays can be great – but you tend to pull out a lot more money in a short amount of time. And right now, that’s not ideal!

Time to book your 2023 holiday?

Of course, if you want to hang on right up until the last minute next year and book something then, you might be lucky and bag a good deal, especially if you’re not fussed about exactly when or where. 

But when we have so many amazing deals to dreamy destinations all around the world – with super savings already ready and waiting to be snapped up – why wouldn’t you want to give yourself the gift of a getaway?! Start searching for yours today and bag yourself our awesome online discounts now!
