4 Reasons Why You Should Take Advantage Of Early Booking

January 15, 2019 by leesalives


When I travel, I always try to take advantage of early booking. Not only does booking your flight and hotel early save you hundreds of dollars, but it also offers some much needed peace of mind and comfort. Here are 4 good reasons why you should book your next trip in advance.

  1. Cheaper Prices

    Tickets are usually less expensive the earlier out you book. For example, right now you can find flights under $500 from O’hare to Heathrow in November via Skyscanner. Its no secret that the closer you get to the date of departure, the more expensive the flights are, so its always best to book at least two months out. This tip also applies to hotels and Airbnb. As a general rule you can always expect to save more when you book early.

  2. Avoid Backing Out

    This is probably the most important reason! You should book as soon as you have the money so you don’t talk yourself out of going. Often times traveling on a budget can be stressful because we’re always worried that we can’t afford to go. “Can I really afford to take this trip?” “What if I have to cancel last minute?” “Will I be able to save enough for the hotel and activities?” The best way to clear your head is to just take the leap and book it. Once you get your ticket there is no going back, which is great motivation to save your money for the trip of a lifetime!

  3. Time To Budget

    One smart way to budget for a trip is to give yourself time to save. A big reason people back of trips is because they feel pressured to have all the money up front. If you make the decision to go a year in advance then you can set small savings goals to help you along. For example, booking your flight in January gives you the remainder of the year to book hotels and excursions for a trip in December. So set a goal to book your hotel my May, and save for a big excursion by august, then food and spending money by November. The more time you give yourself, the easier it is to save.

  4. Planning

    Worrying about the what ifs won’t make you feel better, but being proactive about planning your trip will. Start by establishing a budget and setting savings goals. Then look up places you may want to visit, print them out, and place them inside a notebook labeled with your destination. Over the next few months add little details about your trip so that when you departure date comes along you will have everything planned out. Not only will it give you some much needed peace of mind, but it’ll keep you pumped thinking about all the fun memories you’re going to make!

Happy Monday! Don’t forget to center yourself th Happy Monday! Don’t forget to center yourself this week and hold space ONLY for those who will bring you joy and add value to your life. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is one thing you will do to center yourself this week?

I’m going to do more picnics in the park. There’s a beautiful park just down the road and I never go because I’m telling myself that I don’t have time. This week I’m going to try to go twice.

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! Last wee Good morning and happy Monday everyone! 

Last week sucked. We lost a hero, there was more unrest and trauma, more political turmoil. Hopefully you all used the weekend to heal and center yourself. 

Although you may still be feeling down (I know I was triggered at the gym this morning) I want you to find your strength. Whatever that may be, whether it’s strength that comes from within or from your partner, or your children. Find that thing that makes you stronger and use it to fuel you as you move through the day. Don’t let all this death and sadness stop you from succeeding.

Feeling like a butterfly today! I had been in my Feeling like a butterfly today! 

I had been in my little cocoon of self doubt and uncertainty for so long. Now that I’m finally opening up and spreading my wings the doors are just opening up for me! 

Opportunities I never imagined are right at my fingertips now and it’s such an amazing feeling! 

Remember that you are your greatest roadblock. Once you learn to move past your own insecurities and fears you can literally do anything!
