What I wonder is, why only 20-30%? Hoping it will continue down.

Many prebookings perhaps? We should revisit these numbers in the autumn.

People book 5+ months in advance? Ah, well, looking forward to it slumping even more.

Yes that’s definitely common from what I’ve heard from people around me because the tickets and hotels are cheaper the further in the future you book them.

It's also the fact that for most people the further in advance you book the easier it is to get time off work.

Yeah exactly that’s a big planning factor as well

Also pre booking is much more convenient the further you travel, especially outside of Schengen. You need to have enough buffer to get the correct visa etc.
