How Far In Advance Should I Book My Trip To Ireland?

We asked our readers and the members of our Love Ireland Group to help out with this question.

The options we suggested:

1. A few weeks: I prefer spontaneous travel and can plan my trip within a few weeks.

2. 1-3 months: Planning ahead, but not too far in advance.

3. 3-6 months: I like to have things organised well in advance.

4. 6-12 months: I’m a meticulous planner and book well ahead of time.

5. More than a year: I plan my trips well in advance to get the best deals.

6. It depends on the season: I consider the time of year before booking.

7. Last-minute deals: I wait for last-minute offers to save on travel expenses.

48 % of participants choose a 3 -6 month period to plan your Ireland trip well in advance.
