The summer holidays are over and the winter sport enthusiasts are looking out for the best deals, but is it best to wait nearer the time or to book now? One thing is for sure, the earlier you book your holiday, the greater choice of accommodation and flights you have.
“We know from our research that every skier and snowboarder wants to be near the slopes and lifts, your ideal hotel, chalet or apartment will be snapped up fast. My experience is that nowadays you almost always get a better deal booking on the early booking offers than booking late, especially if during school holidays. There might be a late offer to something similar, but it may not be exactly what you want so if you’ve set your heart on a particular resort and accommodation or are locked into dates from work you are more likely to end up compromising. And don’t forget you can pay early in bits and pieces if you want to divert the temptation to spend the money on something else,” said a Crystal spokesperson.
