Going to Puerto Rico in December, need advice for booking trip…?
Question by Mina: Going to Puerto Rico in December, need advice for booking trip…?
This is my first real trip, going to Puerto Rico (San Juan) from TX over the Christmas holidays. It will be 3 of us traveling. I need some help, because I do not really know where to start. Here are my questions:
Is it typically cheaper to book online than through an agency?
What websites are great for booking trips?
Should I book flight and hotel separately or together?
Since it is August, is it too early to book or perfect timing? Would I get better deals booking closer to the date?
Thanks for any and all advice….I need it!

Listen, im puerto rican and i just spent 2 months in puerto rico. though im only 15 i like to book my trips and i usually use spirit airlines. they have the cheapest airfares. as for a hotel, if you go to expedia you can find good hotels and flights together they are usually cheaper that way.
some places you should visit are the old city of san juan or ” el viejo san juan” which is located at the coast of san juan. right by the old city is possibly the most famous place that is a fort called, ” el morro”. if u like shopping in a neighborhood of san juan known as ” hato rey
norte”. there is the biggest mall in the caribean there called PLAZA LAS AMERICAS. you cn go horseback riding in the central and northeastern part of the island

You should definitely book flight + hotel together online. Its cheaper. Check out Cheaptickets.com, bookingbuddy.com, etc. Research until you find the cheapest price & DEFINITELY book as early as possible! The vacation packages will be cheaper. Do not wait till the last minute. Have fun!
Book Now. Sometimes there are last minute deals but that is very rare. Usually prices get higher as you go. Especially since Christmas is a high travel time, prices are always higher. I always research all the sites from the compare sites to the direct airline sites. I usually find Orbitz has the best deals to PR. Book the Flight+Hotel together. You will get a good deal this way. If you are staying a while & would like to see the whole island then you should rent a car (economy will be fine). You can add that in to your search too. Have fun, PR is great
