Travelers Delaying Bookings Due to Financial Concerns

Has anyone stopped booking travel in advance due to the economy? Hey everyone — I’m working on a story about how people are booking travel later and later. I’m especially interested in hearing from travelers who wanted to go somewhere but held off on booking until the last minute — maybe because airfare felt too unpredictable, your job situation was shaky, or you were just nervous about locking something in financially. If that’s you, I’d love to hear your experience. Why did you wait? How did it work out? I’m a freelance journalist (happy to share details), and I’d potentially include your perspective in the piece. If you’re open to chatting, drop a comment or DM me — thank you!
