Make the most of your vacation days in 2023 and at the same time cheat inflation?

This is definitely possible with early bird discounts.

The overview.

Berlin – As a result of the Ukraine war, many products are significantly more expensive than they were before the invasion triggered by Vladimir Putin.

Inflation in Germany reached a record high in 2022, and the euro often has to be turned over twice.

So it's good for consumers to know that they can save a lot, at least when traveling in 2023.

The magic words in this context are early booking discounts and last-minute offers.

Holidays at bargain prices are also possible in 2023 thanks to early booking discounts and last-minute offers

Also in 2023 vacation at a bargain price is definitely possible.

Because various early booking offers lure with discounts, with which a lot of money can be saved.

The only disadvantage: Travelers make long-term commitments, the entire vacation for 2023 has to be booked at the beginning of the year.

If a trip is canceled for personal reasons, this is not always an advantage.

If you keep an eye on early bird discounts and last-minute offers, you can also save a lot of money when booking your vacation in 2023.

If that's too tricky for you, you can also do without early booking campaigns and still book very cheaply.

In this case, the last-minute offers of travel providers come into play.

But there is also a disadvantage here: If you book your holiday almost at the last minute, you usually don't have a large selection of hotels to expect.

Save when traveling in 2023: When are the best discounts on vacation?

That cannot be answered in general.

After all, the different tour operators also have different deadlines for their early booking discounts.

Accordingly, vacationers should best compare several providers with each other.

Of course, different situations can arise in the holiday destination.

Factors such as an algae plague in the sea, forest fires, political unrest, epidemics or pandemics such as the corona virus can influence the holiday price.

It is therefore advisable to find out about the political situation in the country and the relevant travel warnings from the Federal Foreign Office for the respective travel destination at an early stage.

In the case of early booking discounts, it is also advisable to use flexible tariffs.

In extreme cases, the trip can be postponed indefinitely or even canceled at low cost.
