Vacation veterans please. should I wait until after the long weekend to book a vacation?

byersmoney asked:
I’ve noticed that the prices of inclusive vacations have risen substantially in the last week. My wife thinks that the cost may have risen due to the Easter weekend approaching. The question is … would it make sense to wait until Monday to book , (thinking that the prices would go down again after Easter) … or would they keep rising regardless … thus reducing the quality of trip we could get for our money. We are leaving within 2 weeks.

Very good question.
There are 2 categories..
1. Book well ahead. That way you get precisely the resort and departure dates that you need to have or want.
2. Last minute, which you guys are. The way the thing works is that the agent/carrier/hotel have those airplane seats and hotel rooms empty until someone buys them. When that plane takes off with an empty seat, they have made zero.
They would rather make something than nothing. So later is better in this game, but your choices of resorts and departure dates will be very limited. If you have that flexibility, then go ahead and do the absolute last minute thing.
It would help if you have done all your research, so that you will recognize a bargain if you see it.
Good luck, go find that deal.
