I’m curious what others typically do when booking hotels or Airbnbs for international trips (1–2 weeks).
For me, the timeline usually looks like this:
Solo or with my partner: ~2 months in advance
Group trips: ~10–12 weeks (or earlier if there’s a major event)
For example, I recently shared accommodation options with a group for a June trip (6 people attending a concert) and suggested booking early to secure good, reasonably priced options. However, others felt it was too early to commit.
My perspective is that booking earlier helps lock in better prices and ensures the group gets accommodations that meet everyone’s preferences, rather than dealing with limited or expensive choices later.
Curious how others approach this, am I planning too far ahead, or is this a reasonable strategy?
