How far out

do you typically plan/schedule your next vacation?

Re: How far out

  • I don't take vacations, so I don't know. But if I know I need a day off, I schedule it when I find out about it.
  • Lately, four or five months before. The big trips maybe 6+.

  • depends on the trip - for a week (or more) long vacation, about 6 months, for a long weekend, 1-2 months in advance.
  • As soon as I can make the plane reservations. We use my frequent flier miles and those tickets go fast. So as soon as we've decided on a destination and time of year, I put it on my calendar.

    For days off here and there, as soon as I know.

  • depends. i actually have a trip planned for April, because that's when we'll have time and money to go. but i'll probably end up cancelling if anything crazy comes up.

     

    when i worked in leisure travel, we'd go whenever i got a super deal. usually, within 3 weeks.

  • Do you count long weekends? I can give as little as 2 days notice to my boss, but FI needs at least a month notice (usually 2 months)

  • That is my nephew Luke.  I absolutely adore that kid, and I hope when I have one, he/she it anywhere near as well behaved and happy as he is.

     

    H and I are in talks about what our next vacation will be - it might be anywhere between June and September (if we hold off for our 1st anniversary).  I keep trying to talk to him to get an idea now of what we want to do, so I can start researching/budgeting for it, but H doesn't think there is any rush.  I'm definitely not ready to figure out any real details, just a when/where/how long.

  • Eh, we usually plan 4-6 months out.  We might start "formulating" a plan before that.  But when it comes to flights and accommodations, 4-6 months, maybe later.

     

  • Oooh, 4 to 6 months. And then we cancel the vacation a week or two before it's supposed to happen. At least that's how the last year has been.

  • dh and i plan at least six months out for vacations a week or longer, including flights, hotel and car rental.  by the time we actually travel, everything is already paid for.

    shorter vacations or weekends away are planned anywhere from a month to four months out, depending on location.

    we save for vacations year round.

    image
  • I would say 4 months for a week+ outing and about 6 weeks for a weekend.

  • We had to pick our vacations in January.  So, every January we'd decide on a week vs a long weekend then decide how it fit into our on-call schedule.  We may not pick a final destination until a month or so prior though.

    We also save year round.

  • 4-6 months out, unless it's something like DragonCon or other conventions which are announced a year in advance with time-sensitive price tiers.

    Heh, on the list of our potential vacations are San Diego or NY ComicCon, so I'll pull up a Geek chair with you.

  • I vote SD ComicCon so I can take pictures of you in costume and post them here. kthxbai.
