Successful vacations are not organized at the last minute. For example, if at the beginning of summer you haven’t planned anything for your August holiday, it’s very likely that you won’t find good options at reasonable prices. Moreover, many destinations have recommended travel periods, and booking in advance offers several undeniable advantages: lower rates, more flight and accommodation options, and less stress.
At Olimpia Airport Parking, we see every day the difference between those who plan their trips in advance and those who leave everything to the last minute. Regardless of the situation, a safe parking spot close to the terminal is essential for a worry-free start. Our parking lot, located 200 meters from Otopeni Airport, is ready for passengers going on short vacations or long journeys.
And because we want to be with you every step of the way, we have prepared a list of tips to help with your international travels!
When to visit popular destinations – recommendations by season
Destinations in Asia and Oceania
- When to go to Bali: the recommended period is April – September. During this time, the weather is dry, and temperatures remain stable. It is ideal for beaches, hiking, and water sports. Between November and March, it rains frequently, and weather conditions may affect planned activities. Roads become difficult to navigate, and diving or snorkeling is limited due to reduced water visibility.

Why plan your vacation in advance?
Save money
If you book months in advance, you pay less for both flights and accommodation. As departure approaches, prices rise, and options become limited. Moreover, you have time to compare offers and choose the most cost-effective options for your travel budget. Early planning also allows access to promotional campaigns, early booking packages, or discounted airline tickets.
Access the best options and deals
Planning your vacation in advance gives you access to the best options: direct flights, rooms with a view, highly rated hotels, and popular tours. During peak season, these options disappear quickly. By booking early, you choose what you want, not what’s left. You can select departure time, preferred airline, and seat in the plane.
Avoid stress before departure
By organizing early, you have time to check your passport, purchase travel insurance, get any required vaccinations, and pack without stress. You won’t waste time looking for deals daily or make rushed decisions. You leave on vacation calmly, knowing everything is under control.
