Is It Too Late to Book a Holiday Now for Christmas？

Ldjsammysyd on 19/12/2017 - 18:45

I know I'm not the person that fully organized and booked the holiday a year ahead, I'm trying to save every penny for the mortgage. But now feel like damn tried and need a break, might book a flight to Asia, or even America？ what do u guys think？ anyone here had the same situation that in the past at last minute planing for a short break that can be shared？ of course nothing huge to break my bank account "/"

    Maybe check travel websites rather than asking here

    I you just want a break, why blow all the cash on an overseas holiday?
    Cheap options are camping inland near a river, or Snowy Mountains.
    Or wait until the end of Jan if you don't have kids and get a beach house after school goes back.

      That sounds good but we have kids. They want go somewhere else to travel, since I asked.

        I have taken the kids out of school every year since 2006 for a cheap holiday when I can get bargain flights.
        Travelling during school holidays is for suckers :-)

        Mind you, this year our eldest is doing yr 12 so we are getting a riotously costly (for us) January beach house that we booked in last July.
        We might go OS in December when her exams are done.

    Skyscanner is showing $850 minimum to fly overseas (NZ), you're paying a premium booking this late and in the busiest travelling period of the year

    Just go down the coast and find a motel to stay at. Just chillax at the beach or near a freshwater lake.

    Guess it depends how badly you need this holiday!
    It's not just the airfare. The accommodation will kill you too!

    It'll be much cheaper if you can wait a month or two after the school holidays are over.

    yes.

    Why don't you look on sky scanner etc??

    You may have left it a bit late as you know.
    I had a (very) quick look at Googleflights and Skyscanner for you.

    Mel-Denpasar (Bali) at $832 return 23-28Dec is the cheapest I could find.

    Whatever you decide, be safe, be happy 😊

    +1 for a road trip in Oz. Surely much better value at this time of year.

    Or a hop over to Tassie might be good. It is overseas in a way.
