Because the exact start is only confirmed by the moon-sighting committee 1–2 days beforehand, book flights and hotels around the predicted window rather than a fixed date, and build in flexibility at both ends of the trip in case the confirmed dates shift by a day in either direction. The predicted 8 February to 8 March window is a planning estimate, not a booking guarantee.
Because the dates move roughly 10–11 days earlier every year, a trip planned using last year's calendar will land in the wrong month entirely, so always check the specific year's prediction rather than assuming the pattern repeats on the Gregorian calendar. Evenings during the month run later and busier than usual, so if nightlife is part of your plan, shift your own schedule later to match rather than expecting daytime opening hours to hold.
