By experience, when would you recommend me to book ? X months before stay date or wait for a promotion/sales for the concerned period ?
For Europe i will usually book 9-10 months in advance then prices keep rising despite promotions.
thanks
it’s never (or rarely) needed to book so much in advance, especially for October which will be low season. Six months before is more than enough. You can of course book early at a flexible rate and check regularly for promo and price drops.
