How long in advance should I book carnival packages and other special dates?
Some special dates require that you book with a lot of time in advance. Carnival in Rio is a good example. Our advice is always “the earlier, the better”. There is no secret for these special occasions: The hotel rates and airfare skyrocket the closer we get to the event, due to limited availability. If your travel consultant offered you something reasonable and you really want to go, our recommendation is to book it right away, as prices may increase next week.
