Holiday - buy now or later??

Hey Everyone!

Just after a bit of info on booking a last minute holiday!

Looking to go in March 17th onward for a couple of weeks but I'm wondering whether to book now or hold on until a week or 2 before!

I know last year was a slow one for holidays but I'm not sure about this year.

We're looking at the obvious places - Egypt or Canaries

Cheers for your time!

    It's a case of pay your money or take a chance. Prices can go up as well as down it's all a case of supply and demand.

    I normally book 3-4 weeks out, but have left it as late as a couple of days. Would recommend the second option only if you don't have to book time off work...

    Note that you have to cough up extra for collecting your tickets at the airport if you book within 2 weeks of travelling.

    Thanks!!
