When is the best time for Filipinos to take annual leave on Christmas 2020?

Christmas is one of the most widely celebrated festivals among Filipinos and falls on the 25th of December 2020 (Friday). Considering Rizal Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day are back-to-back public holidays (30th December, 31st December, 1st January), you can have an eight-day long holiday by taking leave on the 28th and 29th of December 2020 (Monday and Tuesday).

When is The Best Time for Filipinos to Book Flights for Christmas 2020?

The perfect time to book your flights should be at least 30 to 90 days in advance of your departure date as December is a prominent holiday month. Booking a flight 14 to 20 days from the departure date is not advised but getting good deals in this period is still possible if you're lucky. Avoid booking any flights one week before as this is when good flight deals are extremely rare to find and prices are very expensive.
