  • Hi,

    Im guessing it has to be summer as your a student.
    If you are booking in the School Holidays i would say book now as you will get an early deal but if
    it is just before ie start of July i would wait until then to book as some good deals do come up!

    Or end up with nothing as the prices could have shot up.

    Personally I'd buy now and then spend the next few months saving your spendies and money for stuff to do when you're there.

    If you have to travel in July or August, book early. If you are a student but prepared to miss exams in June, you can wait because that month always has bargains due to lack of demand, but then you wouldn't consider missing exams, would you?
