Oct / Nov 2025→ Book now for 2026
Focus on large or high-demand trips for 2026. This is the time to lock in your most important travel plans:
- Lock in your key vacations for summer 2026 (June, July, August), especially to high-demand destinations (Europe, luxury villas, private charters).
- Secure accommodations and properties with limited availability or unique appeal (private estates, top-tier resorts).
- Begin holiday season bookings for late 2026 (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s) if you want top locations or exclusive services.
Why now? Excellent availability and choice exist now; waiting means reduced inventory and higher prices.
Tip: Finalize destination and travel dates now; place deposits where required.
Dec 2025 / Jan 2026→ Summer 2026 and major events
In these months you should concentrate on bookings for the summer of 2026 and special-event travel.
- Family travel and spring break 2026 bookings (March/April) — secure flights, lodging and activities while school calendars and resorts have good inventory.
- Upgrading trips already planned (better suites, private tours, premium add-ons) for your summer 2026 travel.
- Reserving special-event trips in 2026 (anniversaries, milestone birthdays) where you want elevated service and unique experiences.
Why now? Family and group travel need more lead time; early booking ensures best choice of room categories and services.
Tip: If you’re targeting a family spring break, act sooner rather than later — top resorts fill early.
Feb / Mar 2026 → Final window for summer bookings
- Autumn 2026 (September/October) and early winter 2026/27 trips (November-January) — begin locking in lodging and international travel while delivery windows are open.
- Finalising any large summer 2026 bookings not yet done — you’re at the edge of doing so with good availability.
- Domestic or regional luxury trips for later in the year (less demand than peak international, so choices still exist).
Why now? Some major properties release final inventory about 6-8 months ahead; striking now gives better choice.
Tip: If your destination is fixed, book lodging and major transport now; fine-tuning can come later
Apr / May 2026 → Autumn & winter 2026 travel
Turn your attention to travel later in 2026. What to focus on:
- Ski travel for early 2027 or late 2026 (December/January) — prime lodges and premium suites often require early commitment.
- Tropical retreats or celebration trips late in the year (New Year’s, Valentine’s Day 2027) where luxury-level service is desired.
- Secondary get-aways for 2026 (shorter trips, high service) that you want to secure before window tightens.
Why now? High-end accommodations and niche experiences fill faster; the earlier you secure them, the more choice.
Tip: While you refine itinerary details, make deposits now on the lodging and major flights.
Jun / Jul 2026 → Summer travel and late-year planning
By now you should be enjoying whatever you booked earlier. This is also when you should think of:
- Any remaining summer 2026 travel still unbooked — this is your last chance for the best options.
- Booking holiday season travel for 2026 (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year) if you haven’t yet — inventory is tightening.
- Shorter luxury escapes or “quick getaways” in 2026 you’ve postponed — these can often be booked now with flexibility.
Aug / Sept 2026 → Final booking push
This is your last chance for 2026 travel bookings. Focus on:
- Seal bookings for any travel in 2026 still outstanding.
- Take advantage of last-minute luxury deals for late-year or short-notice escapes.
- Begin looking ahead to 2027 for very high-demand properties or events; placing early holds/deposits can secure your place.
Why now? Demand and pricing intensify; if you wait beyond this you may face premium pricing or limited choice.
Tip: If you see a strong offer that fits your plan and budget, book it rather than gamble.
