We love lots of advance warning, but realize that some mystery trips are best done somewhat last minute! Most people tend to book their mystery trips 3-6 months before the trip, though some plan even further in advance than that. As last minute trips take more finagling to make schedules and budgets work, any trips requested within 6 weeks of departure will be subject to a $50 rush fee. Trips requested within 3 weeks of departure may be subject to additional fees, as well.
