I would say depending on the kind of provider - Agency vs Indy, local vs touring, full time vs part time you would get different answers ...

However, majority would prefer advance booking.

Also, if you are a newbie, it takes longer to screen you than if you are member of verification site with number of references.

I have no issue with gentlemen setting up appointments a long time in advance. It's more problematic if they want to set up an appointment at short notice, especially if they are a new client. The verification process takes time, particularly when you are waiting for references to get back. If I'm available and can get a guy screened, I don't have a minimum, but in terms of what is feasible I would say that it's difficult to set up a meeting with a new client on the same day he contacts me. Less than three hours notice is usually impossible as I need time to get ready and travel to the appointment as well as to screen him.

If the gentleman wants to set up an appointment more than a week in advance, I usually contact him on the day of the appointment to confirm it's still on.

and of course, I search out providers in that city to keep me company during my stay.  I've never yet had anyone say it's too early and ask me to call later.

I usually send confirmations a couple of weeks and then a couple of days prior to our meeting too.  I think that is appreciated.

When seeing someone locally however, I usually book one to two weeks prior, and confirm the day before.

If I know my travel schedule, I will make an appointment up to 2-3 weeks in advance. I also make contact every 5-6 days to let the lady know our date is still "on".

I don't normally do last minute appointments but, have on a few occasions.  Then, it is up to the availability of the lady of you choice.

Thanks for all these answers, seems like a lot of you do book many weeks in advance and don't have a problem with it.

For certain reasons, August 21st is a date which I'd have to book on and I was just wondering if it was strange to make the call this early but I guess it's fine.

Generally for me, about a week or so in advance.  I'm not a newbie, so screening is usually fairly painless.  I have never done last minute dates, I like the anticipation.
