The Best Time to Plan for Holiday Travel

Spoiler: It’s Sooner Than You Think


It Feels Like a Holiday…

Let’s play a little game. Think back to last year’s holiday season. Were you sipping a tropical drink under a palm tree or frantically searching for flights with one bar of Wi-Fi and a turkey in the oven? If it was the latter, don’t worry. We’ve all been there. But this year? You’re going to be the traveler everyone envies, because you planned ahead. 


At Beach Bum Vacations, we’ve cracked the code on stress-free holiday travel (yes, it exists). So, let’s break it down: when is the best time to plan for holiday travel? And more importantly, why should you get started now?





The Early Bird Gets the Beachfront Suite

The holiday season is peak travel time. Translation? The good stuff goes fast. Whether it’s that dreamy overwater bungalow in Bora Bora or the perfect all-inclusive in Punta Cana, the sooner you plan, the better your chances of landing exactly what you want.


Wait too long, and you might end up with a garden-view room next to the ice machine. (It’s not quite the same vibe.)


Better Prices, Fewer Surprises

Booking early isn’t just about availability. It can also save you money. Airlines and resorts know demand skyrockets around the holidays, and prices follow. When you book ahead, you lock in rates before the surge and avoid that “why is this flight more than my rent?” moment.


Bonus: You’ll have more time to pay off your trip, too. No last-minute financial panic required.


You Get to Look Forward to It (For Months!)

One of the best parts of planning holiday travel early? The anticipation. That countdown to paradise. The daydreams during work meetings. The mental escape when holiday shopping gets a little too intense.


We like to call it "pre-vacation joy," and it’s a real thing. Planning ahead means you get to enjoy the excitement for way longer…and isn’t that half the fun?
