What About Vietnam

Series 6 Episode 13 

How far in advance should I book a trip to Vietnam?

"Kerry, how far in advance should I book my trip to Vietnam?"

If I had a penny for every time this question has come up in the last year.

I just wish there was a one-size-fits-all answer—but there isn't.

Who YOU are as a traveller,... and what type of experiences you want to have, will shape my answer.

In this episode, I break down the booking timelines that have the biggest impact on your experience in Vietnam—from budget backpackers and families to luxury travellers and adventure seekers. I flesh out why Vietnam doesn't always follow the same booking patterns as Europe or Japan, and why understanding local travel habits can save you money, queues, stress, and disappointment.

Whether you're planning your very first visit or returning to explore more of this extraordinary country, this episode will help you decide when to book, what to prioritise, and how to create a smoother, more enjoyable trip.

You’ll discover :

• Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) travel considerations

• Vietnam's school holiday periods and peak domestic travel      seasons

• Cruises, wellness retreats and boutique stays that book      out early

• Tips for independent travellers, families and luxury      travellers alike

• A major city by city guide
