Generally speaking, you can pay a deposit amount and then the balance spread or in full several weeks prior to the date of departure (the precise timelines vary from supplier to supplier). However, you may need to pay for the air travel portion of your trip at the time of booking. Travel booked quite close to the departure date may need to be paid in full at the time of booking, but we can advise you accordingly if this will be the case and work with particular suppliers that suit your payment references.
