Of course, burning, and if something doesn’t work out for you later, and you can’t fly, everything will be fixed and there will be no way back

Hot tours, as such, are a very abstract thing. How long are you going to buy it in two days, a week, two weeks ... Of course, you can get lucky. But, most likely, all the seats on the plane will be occupied. Including, if you are not too lazy, then keep track of the availability of seats on the flight there and back. On the websites of large operators, this info is there, then you have a chance and a better price to wait and not “fly” with the flight (sorry for the pun).

depending on which country you are going to. if you still can leave at any time, then of course burning. and it’s best to track cheap flights, book a hotel via the Internet - it’s easy - and without overpaying anyone to go (this does not apply to Turkey and Egypt)!
аватар anneta
both burning and ordinary ones are no different in principle ..... maybe 20 dollars cheaper. But if you are planning a certain hotel, then of course it is better to book well in advance. And if all the same, some kind of roulette can be 5 *. )))
аватар El-ka
Thank you. So the price is not much different for last-minute tours from ordinary ones?
аватар for_luda
well, how to say, we flew away for 21 days to a charm for $ 800 per person, ultra all inclusive, generally costs 2500-3 thousand. Think for yourself
аватар anneta
well, it depends on which direction to fly, I flew to Turkey RING BEACH 5 * for 1400 on burning and so it costs 1570 .................
аватар anneta
at the moment, due to the instability of the dollar, they offer a 50% discount on a tour for an early booking, but the dollar is falling so you can’t guess here
аватар Zlata28
In my opinion, early booking is better.
Because in this case, you can approach the choice of a hotel in detail, because. does not press time.
And if it’s burning, then you have to take only what they offer and there’s not much time to think about it.
Although we also practice last-minute vacations, there were no particular disappointments, but here we are probably lucky ...
аватар lili-payn
if you know exactly which hotel you want to go to, then book in advance, and if the place of rest and the star rating of the hotel are important to you, then wait for the burning ones, on the last day before departure they drop prices well.
аватар akarp
In my opinion, early booking is better.
So much calmer...
аватар sputnik-2007
Hot tour is much cheaper! Our ticket for eight days in advance cost 800 USD. and on the same day we left for 600 USD, but here you need to sit on your suitcases in the truest sense of the word.
аватар PlyusheMonstr
agree
if you know the hotel in advance
and the hotel is not cheap
THEN EARLY BOOKING! (good hotels rarely go on sale)
otherwise, you can wait - what if something lights up ...
the main difference (except for the price of course) is that with early booking there is something to choose from, and there are usually not many last-minute options
аватар El-ka
Thank you. Will definitely book next year. After all, you do not want to choose from what is left.
аватар burtsev_ilya
Last-minute deals are much cheaper (in Russia!), but they are far from always available, neither in all directions, nor in all hotels.
If we compare - let's say early booking to Turkey and Egypt for June - the cheapest hotel 4 * ALL DBL 7 nights - in June from $ 1100, last-minute (2 days before departure) now - from $ 400, but what will happen in June - no one knows
аватар MaryHelen
What kind of nonsense? Last minute tickets are MUCH cheaper!!!
Of course, if we are talking about a luxury hotel, then it will not burn in principle, or it will, but only slightly.
If you just need a good hotel, then go to your manager and say that you need a tour for such and such a date, he will know and look for you. And you pack your bags and buy a profitable tour in 3 days.
June in Turkey is not yet the season, there are a lot of offers.
Good luck!=)

Read enlighten .. useful article ...
What is a "Hot Tour", the process of its acquisition + the truth about promotions:
In view of the prevailing and well-established opinion about the "burning tour" as a tour that was abandoned, it is 100% delusion. In the modern tourism business, with a contractual relationship, a tour operator and a travel agent, in case of refusal from an already booked and confirmed tour, certain penalties come into force, therefore, if a tourist refuses a tour, the travel agent is obliged to compensate the tour operator for a penalty in the amount of 30 to 100% of the total cost of the tour (depending on from the date and season of the upcoming departure).
"Hot tour" is a special offer that is formed in a situation in which there is an excessive planned loading of a charter flight (underload), while the tour operator recalculates the previously announced price offer in the direction of reducing the cost, thereby financially interest potential tourists.
аватар Mariya25
The tour operator reduces the price, as a rule, for its basic hotels, in which at the moment there is a quota of guaranteed places and, accordingly, the demand for them is not very high (this can, as a rule, be during the middle season "slow" hotels of category 3-4 * or affordable 5* hotels). "Hot tour" often occurs mainly during the low season, when the load on charter flights is low.
Tour operators give all their price offers online, accessible to any Internet user (search for a tour on the tour operator's website), so the prices for tours are the same for all travel agents (there are no separate networks, including "burning" and others with exclusive, special prices ).
аватар Mariya25
Therefore, if the cost of the tour, for example, is 1218 USD, then its cost in the online system for all agencies is 1218 USD. Based on this, it does NOT make sense to call and court everyone in a row in search of a more unreasonably low price for the same tour. In practice, a situation arises in which a tourist, in "search" for a lower price, "does not succeed" anywhere, due to the fact that: the sale for a charter is closed, or the hotel "left the sale" for a given period of time, or the hotel raised the price for it (the last already becoming the rule for the modern tourism market)
A "hot" tour is usually a 7 night tour due to the fact that it is tied to a charter i.e. to the weekly download schedule. With rare exceptions, in the low season there are "burning" tours for 10 or 14 nights.
In practice, the purchase of a "burning tour" does not leave the tourist to think twice and "collect feedback" - but requires promptness, decisiveness and speed of decision-making in the current situation.
аватар Mariya25
The probability of closing the quota of places in the hotel and / or terminating the promotion under the "hot tour" scheme is very high, therefore, in practice, after receiving a refusal, you have to book another hotel (at best, on the same date) or refuse to travel for this period.
"Hot tour" is of course the prerogative of people "easy-going" and for those who are not bound by a certain time frame in terms of the implementation of the trip.
Recently, the leading tour operators have been practicing the scheme of selling tours in advance, i.e. the earlier the tour is booked and redeemed, the lower its cost than on the eve of departure.
About promotions – "Fortuna"
good for those who want
1. go for the first time (nothing to compare with - you should like it)
2. fly many times during the year "with your own company"
3. meet a narrowly defined (very modest budget)
on a note -
Since promotions like TEZ EXPRESS, Ruletka, Fortuna, Bingo, Happu Hour…..
this is the process of buying a "pig in a poke" "under the declared star rating indicated in the voucher (permit)
but as a rule, if it is 5 * - then the cheapest at the local Resort (resort), in practice, tourists
extremely rarely get into a decent hotel with real "strong" stars
аватар Mariya25
(as a rule - a hotel on the 2nd line,
on the outskirts with a bad beach and infrastructure and other, other "charms" of a ball trip,
where the lion's share of the cost "hid" in air travel, transfers and insurance. It is necessary to be aware that if a tourist intentionally and consciously chooses a tour to a 3 * -4 * hotel at a cost slightly more than a charter ticket, then "there is practically no hotel on the tour." So think for yourself - decide for yourself!
аватар MaryHelen
Mary, no one talks like that. that an insanely cool hotel will be with crazy discounts! Everyone should understand this when purchasing a last-minute tour.
Roulette can easily go to Europe (Spain, for example), but not to Egypt or Tunisia...
In general, expectations should be adequate! =)
I like hot tours. While young, you can relax like that. Why not? =)
аватар Mariya25
I'm not saying that hot is always bad. I just gave an article so that people understand what's what
аватар MaryHelen
=)
аватар El-ka
Mariya25 thank you very much for your exhaustive answer. Good discounts for early bookings, usually in March before the season starts. Are there often cases that instead of the hotel I booked, a week before departure, I will change it to another one?
аватар PlyusheMonstr
as they say 50/50 - either change or not ...
joke of course
the probability of 2% out of 100% that they will change the pre-booked hotel ...
аватар burtsev_ilya
Much depends on the tour operator, for example, capital-tour and pegas touristic simply reduce prices for the same tours in 2-3 days, so there is no difference in quality, what to take in advance, what are last-minute
аватар CC62__
it is better to take hot ones..
аватар burtsev_ilya
CC62__ poor fellow, just registered - already received a minus for supporting "burning"))))
PS I totally agree with you.
