He will be flattered and most likely he will tell you, he will look at his schedule and get back. This means he has no major happening and this is your tentative date.
4.) Talk to his Boss.
If he’s employed, you don’t want surprises on the surprise day. Approach his employer, explain to them what you intend to do and if the said dates he can be granted some time off.
Most likely the employer will be appalled by your move and they are unlikely to say no to you. Thank them and plead with them to keep it a secret.
Please don’t be caught in his boss office, do it discreetly. Now you`re sure of the said dates even if something comes up and he wants time off for other wants on the said dates the employer will give a blatant No!

6.) Get tickets Ready.
Whether you`re doing Local or overseas, regards to the mode of transport you decide it is time to get those plane tickets.
A month or two to your trip date, make sure you have the flight tickets ready. But before that, there are things to be wary of -:
Don’t use their frequent miles to their booking since this will spoil everything as they will get all the itinerary and you will be busted.
7.) Use the incognito window on Chrome.

Go incognito, the browsing history can sell you out after all the planning. How do you go incognito? Simple, on the keyboard press Ctrl + Shift + N and you will be already in. No one will be able to trace your browsing history.
If you`re dealing with a tour Company, make rules, unless I call you please don’t call me. Since they might call you when he’s right beside and starting to ham on your phone might imply deceit.
8.) Create a New Email for Planning the Surprise Trip.
More often our emails are auto-saved and all you need is just to click and you`re in. Now if you have a home computer most likely everyone has access.
Signing out will be a red flag, just create a new email to do everything. The goal here is to keep it a surprise.
Please do this with a sound and conscious mind you don’t want to spoil the party. Don’t be a party pooper!
9.) Don’t feel Iniquitous.
When it comes to how to plan a surprise trip for your boyfriend. I know all this may make you feel like you`re doing it all wrong, worse still feel like you`re cheating on your husband or boyfriend.
All the little white lies you give him to be able to cover this surprise Trip. Trust me it will be worth the efforts.

Which we have always applied, we had a successful arrangement. However, the lady decided to keep it a secret until the last minute.
11.) Real-time experience of a surprise Trip.
She woke her husband at 3:00 AM, “Wake up honey, we have a flight to catch!” You can imagine how stupefied and fuddled the hubby was.
After affirmation and waking up properly, the wife had everything in place, honey you don’t have to worry about a thing.
What about work? The wife told him “it is your off day get in the shower; the car is waiting”. (She had already arranged for off days at his workplace) Every question was met with a prompt but sweet answer!
The Hubby was like a little baby throughout the trip. She narrated this when she came to say a thank you! This was a lifetime Memory the hubby will forever cherish.
Indeed “life’s best moments usually happen unplanned!”
