Got a trip planned in March or April? Then you're likely hoping to see—and take photos of and with—the cherry blossoms, we assume. What many travelers don’t realize, though, is that the cherry blossom season is fickle and usually lasts around just two weeks, so getting the dates right is perhaps the most important factor when planning your trip.
That said, if you’re waiting for that little nudge to finally book that springtime trip, check out all the travel deals you can score at the Klook Travel Fest: Blossom Deals happening from March 9 to 10 at the SMX Convention Center, Halls 1-3. You wouldn’t want to miss out on the special promos and discounts for your next trip to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, or Hong Kong!
Now, if you’re set on seeing these pretty pink flowers in full bloom, make sure to book your flights on these dates:
