We are trying to book a holiday in April 2007, and want to book the flights, howfar in advance of traveling do most people book the flights?

Dear Tony,
I booked our flights for February 2007 one month ago. The fuel surcharge has already risen by £25 per person since then and I would think that it will probably rise quite a bit more yet, so I'd say book as soon as possible. The other thing is, if you're not tied exactly to certain dates, look at the variation in the prices throughout April - it can make a big difference!

Can you quote who you went through, I am trying Flight Republic & Caribean gold but getting an answer is frustrating.

Hi Tony,
I booked direct with XL.com. If you put in the basic dates you are thinking of it comes up with the price for economy and excel one. It also has a calendar with flight days marked and if you click on them it comes up with all the alternative prices.

ps You can also prebook seats together at the same time - it's only about £10 each

We're staying at Castara Retreats. We've just got back from our first visit there and it was amazing.
Hope you enjoy yourselves.

Hello Tony,I book as far in advance as possible,on line with Virgin.Booking on line also gives you seat selection and an extra discount.This year I paid £538 for premium return(plus taxes of course!).The other advantage is that if you pay in advance you avoid any hikes in taxes or surcharge--a disadvantage is you cannot get a refund if you cancel.

Hi, both BA and Virgin also fly to Tobago. At certain points during the year both of them will have fare sales, where the prices can be very cheap, and booking is only required a month in advance.

For example, recently BA had a very good fare sale, with availability a month before travel up to the end of the year.

Historically the airlines have sales around September, a smaller one in November and then one around January (however I'm not saying this will stay the same this time round).

from the accommodation point of view you should book soon and get your booking done. otherwise you might not be able to get your dream place to stay!
and it is a bit risky to book a place and have no flight yet, isn't it?!
enjoy your holiday

She wants to get married out there now, so I am trying to see if I can afford it.
