Should I book now or wait?

I want to go holiday on the 22nd July for 10-14 nights 2 adults and 2 children aged 15 and 3. Going to anywhere really in the med for a beach hol ideally would like 5 star bed B&B so we get the luxury but not the pomp of the evening meal with the kids. Don't know if I'll get it cheaper by booking now or at the last minute what does anybody else think?

    Have a read of Martins haggeling articles on how to reduce the price of your holiday.It is about a hours work on the phone but you will have the security of having booked your holiday now but also a smile on your face for having saved so much.

    I registered with travel zoo and they send me an email with the current best web deals, some are late bookings but some are for over the next few months.

    I have just booked 13 nights to Hong Kong, Bangkok and Pattaya for £690 flying with Quatar.

    Hope this helps http://www.travelzoo.com

    I think you are taking a bit of a risk leaving it last minute for July (start of school holidays).
