Book now! Hype True?

Started October 6, 2005 · 7,909 views · 5 posts
Several girlfriends and I are planning to travel to PV in the month of January after the 10th.

I was under the impression that its not as crazy busy after New Years but the travel agents are advisng we better book now or risk not securing a spot. Is this true or is it a crapshoot?

:roll: Forgot to logon and to Mention, THATS NOT FIGURING A PACKAGE TOUR! Most packages have a limited number of seats & or rooms available for a specified price. High value, well advertized deals will go fast.
We booked our trip back in August.

Now a few friends of ours decided that they would like to join us on our trip, same time - same place.

Guess what? From our gateway - for our resort - for two weeks - leaving Jan 7.....they are out of luck.

Why wait if you know where and when you want to go :?:

Cheers!
As for me, I try to book as early as possible, and since I usually us Funjet I have the option to check the rates every week and reduce mine if the price goes down. I do take advantage of a hot deal <60 days out, but since I work at a hospital findling someone to work my weekend shifts is hard to do at the last minute.
With hurricane Wima tearing up Cancun right now, if you have not already booked you may be out of luck. I understand they are giving people the option to change their vacation to PV as they expect Cancun to be devastated and take a while to rebuild.
