| Mar 2, 2016 at 15:37 | comment | added | reirab | @JPhi1618 I assumed he meant 330 days (i.e. 11 months out.) | |
| Mar 2, 2016 at 15:34 | comment | added | jmathew | My family once tried to book a hotel in Delhi with a Formula 1 event happening the next day or so. All the rooms were booked except for one penthouse room that was $6k for a 2 night stay. Every other global hotel chain was booked up the same way. We ended up staying in a local hotel which was clean and nice but not in a particularly walkable area. | |

| Mar 2, 2016 at 14:07 | comment | added | JPhi1618 | @choster, What is T-330? 330 hours? Seems like an arbitrary number. | |

| Mar 2, 2016 at 10:23 | comment | added | lambshaanxy | @jcaron The main event is on Sunday afternoon, and my flight lands about two hours after it ends. And yes, rates do go down noticeably from Monday onwards, but they're still pretty inflated. | |

| Mar 2, 2016 at 9:37 | comment | added | jcaron | Also, depending on the timing on the event, some nights may not go down at all (most probably the Saturday->Sunday night, but it may depend on whether it's a night race, etc.), while nights a bit more at the edge of the event (e.g. Sunday->Monday) may go down. | |
| Mar 2, 2016 at 9:35 | comment | added | jcaron | What is the overlap between the F1 event and your presence, and how long are you staying? The per night price may vary a lot during your stay, but some special rates that apply during the event may be applied to your whole reservation even if there's only a single night that "should" be under this rate. Check rates night per night (including cancellation policies), splitting your reservation may help. | |

| Mar 2, 2016 at 6:59 | comment | added | choster | Earlier is not better for flights, or at the least, there is a threshold. Not very many deeply discounted seats are released at T-330; additional ones get trickled out later depending on demand. On most flights at most times of the year, what I can get at ten weeks tends to be better than what I can get at forty. The trick is that sometimes things get even better at four weeks out, and other times they go up. | |
