Are you planning on traveling in the next 6-12 months? Well, so is everyone else…  When the light turns green to travel freely, there will be a huge rush to book long-lost and well-deserved vacations.

Travel is starting to trend towards normalcy as airlines like Delta are opening up middle seats starting May 2021 and United Airlines is set to hire 300 pilots as travel bookings begin to rebound.

Don’t get lost in the madness - Here are the top ten reasons to book NOW: 

 

1) Supply and Demand 

With social distancing protocols, there will be limited inventory and less accommodations to select from, creating more demand than supply. To ensure you get the exact accommodations you want, it’s best to plan ahead. 

2) Flexible Cancellation Policies & Travel Credit Card Protection

Take advantage of flexible cancellations before they are gone. Now is the time to book your future vacation because airlines, hotels, and tour companies have very flexible cancellation/change policies in place, some even extend through 2023. Also, if you booked with a travel credit card, chances are it includes travel protection (for example, trip cancellation and interruption coverage). Every card is different, so make it a point to understand your coverage before your trip.

3) Price matters  

It’s simple: book early, lock in lower pricing.

4) Stop Streaming  

After a year+ of staring at your TV screen, there’s nothing you need more than a change of scenery. 

5) Deals, deals, deals

To welcome you back to the world of vacationing, tour companies, resorts, and cruise lines are offering better-than-ever deals and exclusive offers. This is only for a limited time, and prices and offers will expire.

6) Vacationing is good for your health 

Studies suggest that vacationing can relieve stress, increase creativity, and improve mental health. People who vacation generally live longer (and I would argue fuller) lives. 

7) Vacation Rejuvenation 

There’s no better time to refresh and renew. Shake off 2020 and revitalize your mind, body and soul with a getaway. You’ll come back feeling better than ever. Don't miss out on that bucket list vacation! We all deserve a little getaway.

8) Mark Your Calendar 

Having something to look forward to can fill even the most monotonous of days with some excitement!

9) Use that travel credit

2020 left many of us with travel credits that need to be used by a certain time. Don't let it go to waste!

10) You Snooze, You Lose 

Simply put, procrastinating on booking your vacation most likely will mean another year of sitting on your couch and paying a premium if you book when demand is at its peak.
