I have generally only ever booked 2-3 months out (my weekly journey to the south coast of the UK) but nothing really stopping me from booking 52 reservations (assuming prices are okay on flex rates)...do you book your week/weekly runs well in advance or do you just do a few and then rinse, sleep and repeat?
Just curious how others do this and of course to see if someone has an ungodly amount of stays booked in advance (such as 52 or more?) I know some have posted they have more than 30 stays booked so come on, the Hilton app and site are still being sorted so a bit of fun...
Might be useful to include a poll ? And if the stays are out of pocket or expenses.
I mainly travel for work so most of the time it's 2 - 3 day notice, although I find myself having to book same day as least once a month. There aren't many properties with prepaid rates at short notice, most are the higher priced "flexible rate" although the cancellation time has already passed.
For holiday, I book a month out (flexible) and check back a week before if prepaid is any cheaper OR if there is a sale.
