I never took a tour of Belarus, but this year it would be worth it. Judging by how the prices for tours are growing now, what do you think: when to take a tour at the beginning of October. We always took it for October 1-2 weeks before departure

Judging by how the hotels fill up, you can safely wait for October and book in October. Prices cannot be increased because early bookings are shifted and shifted. Therefore, even if you book in October, it can be much cheaper than now. But a lot depends on the hotel and on what markets it operates.

Previously, I always took tours in the Republic of Belarus, this year I take it for 2-3 weeks - it's cheaper, but if you need a certain hotel, then the Republic of Belarus

If the hotel matters, then only the Republic of Belarus, because quality hotels are in the foot when you try to book them 2-3 weeks in advance. So we flew over last year with Egypt - I had to go where there were places, and, accordingly, the rest was not the same. This year, they took a hotel in Turkey in Belarus, so the price for it not only did not fall, but also increased, and there are no weeks 2 for our dates (we fly out on May 21). But for me, the quality of the hotel is important if we are on vacation with children, when we go without them, then we don’t bother like that.

RB is always relevant only at the opening of the season. For many years I flew to Tvrtsia in May and October. I always made RB for May. I chose only top hotels that quickly go to the stop. October just before departure! Definitely! Places are almost always and everywhere! With the current currency dance, you can fly from Belarus to October. The situation in Turkey is now in favor of tourists, we, Russians, are not allowed out))))) and this was the lion's share)))) at Booking the prices are cheap. For any season. My advice is to do as usual!

In the past few years, RB has not been as profitable as before. Previously, it was really profitable - 30-40% savings. And now, with the current unstable exchange rate, I go to the Republic of Belarus only if it is likely that the hotel will stop and I am interested in a quality holiday with children in specific hotels. When in January-February I was thinking about where to go on vacation this year, the prices for some hotels simply went off scale, and the closer to the desired date, the prices changed several times, they would fall (and significantly), then they would rise. And you could catch the moment just super prices, but you need to do this, monitor all the time ... not everyone likes this option. If you want to save money, choose hotels and monitor the price. Booking is usually open for me, and Pegasus, Anex and other TO sites, depending on the chosen direction, and there you can see how many seats are left for specific dates on the plane (approximately of course), and the occupancy of the hotel by booking (gives out the number of rooms). By analyzing all this, you can make the right decision in time.

Booking gives out the rest of the rooms only from the number that I bought) (((what does the total number of rooms in the hotel have to do with it??????

I'm not talking about total. I usually know which number I am interested in (room type) and periodically ask for specific dates the availability of suitable numbers - this is all very approximate and it is clear that TO has its own redeemed numbers and information may differ, but I always consider options like buying and through TO so and directly at the hotel or through booking. As a rule, the general situation is the same, but I repeat that all this is approximate and you need to understand how to analyze correctly and when to make the right decision.

Agree with previous posts. NEVER early booking was cheaper than the price one week before departure. Therefore, it makes sense to take PH only in order to insure with a particular hotel so that it does not "leave". But since October is already the end of the season, the places will be in any way.

I have been flying to Turkey in October for seven years, after 17. There is always a choice of hotels, even the most "stop" hotels you choose only by price, which you can afford every October. There has never been a case that the top hotels were all in the "foot")

I know very well the principle of forming a tour package and there are countries where it is more profitable to go only from TO, and there are countries where it makes sense to go booking everything on your own - first buy good plane tickets and then select a hotel for the dates, but there is also a variant of countries and Turkey is included in them the number where both of these options can happen. For example, this year the hotels themselves offered very interesting hotel + flight options, and it was much cheaper than our maintenance offers. The difference for our family was out of the blue about 600 ye. for the same date, number of nights and conditions. Plus, the hotel itself had more interesting conditions in case of "if". For example, anex is a 100% fine, Pegasus is a little better, but also not a fountain, and even a refund, regardless of the exchange rate in national currency (of course), but without taking into account the exchange rate on the day of return. The hotel with 50% payment for the tour and the final settlement on the spot upon arrival in the event of an "If" returns the entire prepayment in ye without penalty.

As for Turkey, let me disagree with you) I am considering Booking now only because we have a ban on package tours. Ukrainians write that for 1000 dollars you can fly to an excellent 5 * 2 adults + 2 children))) where are the tickets + booking))) I’m still flying to Greece)

But in October, I agree, everything will most likely be fine there. In winter we fly to exotics, so I don’t consider either Turkey or Egypt in October, but I plan my vacation in November-February (depending on the tickets) in other countries and, as a rule, in a truncated composition, either together, or we take one of the older children.

Yes! Turkey is much cheaper this year. But I repeat that the promotion from the hotel accommodation + flight turned out to be even more profitable than the offer of the MOT itself + the cancellation conditions are excellent. And as far as I know, hotels are now actively cooperating with air carriers and offering Russians their packages with significant discounts. Therefore, it makes sense to contact the hotel directly. True, all this was offered until the end of April, but what if

In Russia, the sale of package tours to Turkey is prohibited. Everyone can fly, but independently. To Antalya via Moscow or Istanbul. There are no direct flights. Turkey has lost 3.5 million Russian tourists. So draw your own conclusions. I found a good accommodation option on Booking: for 13 nights with breakfast per person 70 dollars!!!! For all nights!!! All inclusive can also be found inexpensively) The flight is simply not cheap !!!!!

I say that the Turks offered accommodation + flights for Russians as well. I know that they don’t sell MOT, but my friends are now resting, they paid for the hotel in February, they flew from Moscow, mine without transfers (maybe with children, and the youngest is 9 months old, I’m sure that they wouldn’t dare to go to extreme sports with transfers with such baby). I'll ask them how they flew, if they get in touch

It's hard to say about autumn. I think the TO tactics will depend on how May, June and July go. We bought our tour to Bodrum at the end of May-beginning of June in February. This particular hotel gave RB until March 31st. The price per person at different TOs for a standard room was 21,000-23,000 hryvnia. After March 31, the standard began to cost around 29,000 per person. Now it is 31,000 for close dates. The myth about cheap Turkey and cheap Egypt only applies to frankly weak hotels that are 100% booked for the CIS, which means 70% for Russia. Good hotels in dollars and euros cost the same as in previous years. Xanadu Island, if you know what we are talking about, as it cost 3000 euros for a standard economy for 7 nights, it is worth it.

I don’t know for your city (but not everyone flies from Kharkov here either and we often have to go to Kyiv), but from Moscow to Antalya a direct flight by Turkish Airlines from 250 ye in both directions. I think that to pick up a hotel for this ticket and you can go. But again, in Turkey, the world did not converge like a wedge, you can look in the other direction.

An independent tour to Turkey becomes profitable only if you do not fly to the coast and plan to explore Istanbul, for example. Airplanes from Ukraine make direct flights only to Istanbul. A transit flight Kyiv-Istanbul-Bodrum cost 240 dollars per person with 23 kilograms of luggage in the most inconvenient option, in which you would be forced to spend the night at Istanbul airport. And from $270 with a more convenient daytime, but still 6-hour transfer. Pegasus flights from Lviv and Kharkiv are slightly cheaper, but this means that residents of other gyrods have to add a train / bus / car to the plane and after the plane to the price. Add a taxi from and to the airport here, and it turns out that the flight + transfer + package the hotel will be cheaper.

I've heard enough advice and did not buy a tour of the Republic of Belarus to Turkey. Like, prices will fall and it will be possible to fly for ten kopecks. And then once, exactly in a month, the price of the tour I planned has risen by $ 200 and now something is not going down.
And for later dates, prices just went up and up!! So lovers of freebies were in flight.

AllOverTheWorld, the prices for Xanadu, which you write about, were given from Kyiv at the end of April-beginning of May. There was no talk about 2100 for two at all. If you're talking about Xanadu Island. And not about Xanadu Resort, which is at least 25% cheaper.

Thank you all for your replies. :)
I didn’t monitor prices for May before (because we didn’t fly to Turkey in May), but this year we also gathered in May. We thought it would be cheaper to take a tour before departure, but it turned out in Belarus this year it was much cheaper the plane at some TOs. So I doubted in October). before leaving in October.
Thank you all again!
