Let's talk about where and how you can make early booking of tours for 2021 and why it is more profitable to look for a ticket online!
Briefly about what early booking is. This is when you:
✓ in August, buy a tour for the New Year holidays in Thailand for 60,000 rubles
✓ in October you notice that the voucher is already on sale for 75,000
✓ in December, your friends buy it for 90,000, and in the same hotel!
And you end up flying to Phuket for a great price, because you took care of the trip and made your reservation in advance. Where to book tours several months in advance, and what do you need to know? Where is the best place to go from Moscow for the New Year?
Where can I make early booking of tours online?
Do you know why it is worth buying online? Because now the services allow you to search for a tour and early booking of vouchers:
- in one place (website), where offers of all tour operators are collected
- no extra charges for premises rent, employee salaries, etc., which is typical for travel agencies
- in a calm environment without skillful psychological pressure from sales managers
Travelata.ru is the largest website for booking tours online. The service cooperates with the leading Russian tour operators: it compares the prices for vouchers and shows when and with whom it is more profitable to fly to rest. Try it!
* we bought tours through Travelata several times - and for this reason we wrote a review about the service >>
Among the leaders of tourist destinations are Turkey, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Vietnam, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, India and, of course, Thailand with the most popular resorts of Phuket and Pattaya.
On the website, you can buy a voucher for the winter, including for January and February 2021, and for the upcoming New Year holidays in advance. Now, by the way, is the time to book tours by December 31! We also offer you to plan your New Year's trip, as we have already done 🙂
Among the advantages of the online service are the following:
- a large selection of tours from 120 reliable tour operators
- convenient search system
- visibility of the information provided
- various and - most importantly - secure payment methods
- round-the-clock telephone consultation
- the possibility of using promotional codes
In general, the choice of countries where you can fly on vacation is very diverse, but you must agree that travelers especially prefer to book all-inclusive tours. 🙂 Like, for example, a tour from Moscow to Turkey or the Dominican Republic.
On Travelata.ru you can make early bookings for ski tours for 2020-2021, and tour packages to tropical countries. However, making a purchase several months in advance is not always a guarantee of low prices. The cost of the tour is very variable and depends on many factors, incl. and currency exchange rate hopping.
Of course, the most profitable are the last-minute tours, which can be purchased cheaply (sometimes for a penny!) Literally before the departure date. But there is also a drawback - you will be deprived of the opportunity to plan your vacation in advance. That is, a suitcase in hand and forward to the airport. As you can imagine, early booking of last minute tours is not possible.
Early booking conditions:
- • Full payment of the voucher within clearly defined terms (for example, within 3 days after confirmation)
- • Complicated procedure for canceling the tour (fines) - but here, if you are very doubtful, you can buy insurance and, in which case, return the full cost of the tour back
- • You cannot change travel dates after tour confirmation
Early booking benefits:
- • Substantial money saving up to 50-70% of the tour cost
- • A wide range of offers on the direction from different tour operators
- • Ability to choose a convenient airline for the flight
Tourist advice! If you are from a region, for example, from Kazan or Ufa, then it is better to make an early booking of a tour with a flight from Moscow. Why?
- • The likelihood of rescheduling or canceling a tour in the future is almost minimal. In general, Moscow is the leader in early booking tours. While the time / number of flights to resorts is being adjusted in the regions, for the capital everything is already known up to a minute
- • The price is 30-50% cheaper
- • The choice of hotels and airlines is also larger
And if possible, if you are flying, for example, to Thailand for the New Year, take a tour for 14 days! It happens that the difference in cost with 10 days differs by only a couple of thousand, and in emotions and impressions - at times. 🙂
Booking tours for summer 2021
Somehow in June we grabbed a very cool tour to Greece
for 27,000 rubles!
- When? The hottest time! Early booking of tours for the summer of 2021 opens from mid-December to January. And it continues in several stages: the first was designated, the second - until the end of February (he is the best), the third - until the end of March. After - basta, prices are no longer held back
Consider tours to Turkey, Montenegro, Greece, Spain or Cyprus. In these countries, beach holidays begin in May, but the main flow of tourists arrives in July. The cost of tours also peaks in July-August, but early booking of a trip will save you money (applies to air tickets).
Interestingly, in 2019, vouchers to Greece for the summer of 2020 appeared at the end of September. You can ask the price for Travelata! Prices start at 40,000 rubles for two.
Expensive exotic destinations such as the Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius stand apart in the summer. For profit, it is better to buy them with super early booking: for example, tours to the summer Maldives (off-season, but cheap) are on sale - since September.
Early booking tours to Turkey (summer 2021)
For whom is early booking of tours to Turkey relevant? In summer, a record number of Russians come to the local coast - about 7 million! - but a small percentage of them buy vouchers for several months.
+ If you are looking for a good hotel - and you understand that in resort Turkey, not all that is gold that bears a 5-star plate - you will have plenty to choose from. At least from 10-15 hotels, and not from 2-3, as a month before the vacation.
+ If you are looking for a good hotel and it is important for you not to overpay - but realize that decent options do not cost 25 thousand per person - early booking will be a plus. You can pay 65 thousand for each, or 80 thousand.
+ If charters are a red light for you, Belarus is also beneficial for choosing a regular flight (Turkish Airlines, Aeroflot). The surcharge for them (= fuel surcharge) comes out roughly the same as for charters.
- And again charters. During those 3-5 months before the rest, the flight can be postponed and "carried away" (to another airport) as much as necessary.
Early booking tours for autumn 2021
- When? Early booking for autumn tours in summer countries - from Turkey to Tunisia - starts in May, as well as in the UAE and the Caribbean
Cyprus, Canary Islands, Italy - September and October are considered “velvet” months for sea travel. At this time, there is no stifling heat and scorching sun, and you can sunbathe, swim without fear of getting sunstroke. Many tourists prefer this period for their holidays, so make sure you buy a tour in advance to enjoy a good hotel at a low cost.
Early booking for Spring 2021: when does it start?
Did we mention that Barcelona is beautiful in May? 🙂
- When? Booking of tours for May (especially holidays) starts in September. March and April - if we mean "winter" countries, like Thailand, the Dominican Republic - can be considered already from August
Spring is 100% the best time for a budget vacation! With restrictions, of course, but what can't you forgive for a more than good price for the tour? April-May - excellent, inexpensive for Italy, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, if you want to walk and see; for Turkey and Tunisia, if the main motive is an all-inclusive vacation; for Tai and Goa, if you are drawn to the tropical and exotic.
Booking tours in November-December 2021
Our trip to Georgia in November, we caught the first snow in Kazbegi
- When? Thailand, Vietnam, Goa for November appear at tour operators from July. December - if you do not take into account the New Year's holiday - is connected from August. Finance-saving advice: the cheapest is early December, the edge is the middle
Go to the search engine, indicate the desired direction and dates. The service will do the rest for you; you do not need to visit the website of one tour operator after another (or, moreover, run around travel agencies) in search of benefits. You will see the best offers of travel companies, collected in one place, with detailed information about the hotel, meals and, of course, prices. From you - payment without leaving your home and the anticipation of a future trip!
Early booking tours for New Year 2021
Our New Year in Bali!
- When? Early booking for New Year's Eve tours in 2021 is being launched depending on the regions. Czech Republic and the rest of Europe / skiing - from May to June. Asia and other warm countries - from August (with departure from Moscow, Kazan and other cities)
For NG, prices for early booking tours = best prices. Vouchers to exotic countries are in demand, where, instead of a blizzard and midday gloom, tourists are pleased with the sun and the sea.
So why not make an early booking of New Year's packages now? After all, you can purchase a quite inexpensive tour with a departure from Moscow. And yes, a hint: it is better to buy a tour online (remember, promotional codes?) And by the date of the start of the holiday - until December 25. Otherwise, the approximate 100,000 rubles for two will turn into 130,000+ iron.
Advance booking is available not only for New Year's tours in 2021, but for the whole winter.
- When? January and February "ripen" for early booking from July-August, if the flight is from Moscow. If you plan to leave from other cities (including St. Petersburg), you should wait until September
Dominican Republic and Thailand are especially popular countries in winter. Here you can sunbathe, shop and taste exotic fruits. Well, and about interesting excursions, all-inclusive hotels (first) and evening entertainment (second), it’s not worth talking about - all this awaits you at still adequate prices. Of course, if you think about booking your tour in advance.
Early booking of tours from Moscow. What do you need to know?
If you decide to make an early booking of tours from Moscow, then, again, welcome to the online tour search site. I must say that very often low prices are offered for vouchers with a flight from the capital, because here the air transportation system is most developed and, accordingly, the competition among airlines is higher. In addition, the choice of all-inclusive tours departing from Moscow will be much more interesting.
With an intuitive search system on Travelata, you can easily find trips to different countries: the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, Thailand.
In addition, by making a tour booking in advance, you can:
- Get a discount on hotel accommodation. Please note that the price you see on the indicated sites already includes this discount;
- Stay in a good hotel, which is popular during the peak tourist season;
- Prepare in advance for the trip.
However, even tours from Moscow cannot do without a small "but". Remember that flights from the capital (if we are talking about tour packages) are made not by regular, but by charter flights, so there may be changes in the schedule.
If you are from another city, we do not recommend buying an air ticket to Moscow in the same way. A more competent option is to buy a train ticket. The sale starts 60 days in advance and can be returned at any time prior to travel.
Although, due to the significant flow of tourists, the likelihood of postponing the date and time of departure is still small. And the cost of a pre-planned tour compensates for all possible delays (within reasonable limits). 🙂
