We're last minute people, maybe a week in advance without air travel, a month with. A family friend just invited us to join them on a vacation NOVEMBER 2025. That seems bonkers to me!

How far in advance do you plan a small trip like a road trip or visiting family, and how far in advance for a big trip like international travel, a cruise, or Disney?

Without flights two or three weeks before. For roadtrips we usually only book the first hotel and then decide along the way. For air travel we book 2 or 3 months in advance and then often also do roadtrips using rental cars booking only the first and last hotel in advance.

The only short vacations I really need to plan long time in advance are multiday bike trips where I want to take a bike on a high-speed train (because there are only few places and they are booked out super early). For example for a Bike-Tour from Innsbruck to lake Garda we had to book the train 5 months in advance.
