One in five people who book holidays in advance lose money when prices drop before departure.

One in five early holiday bookers have lost money after prices for their trips plummeted closer to the departure date.

People who book holidays in advance often do so expecting to secure better rates by reserving early. However, a substantial proportion end up worse off when the market price drops before they travel.

The practice leaves early bookers at a disadvantage compared to those who wait to book nearer the time, as last-minute deals and price reductions can undercut advance purchases significantly.
