Last Minute Holidays

What are Last Minute Holidays?

A last minute holiday is a holiday that is departing shortly after the booking date. The actual period can vary from departing on the same day to departing 2 or 3 months away, as the term can be as broad as you wish. However, it is primarily used within 2 months of departure. Late deals and last second holidays are alternative terms to last minute holidays.

Consumers often ask or search for a last minute holiday because of various reasons, although two popular reasons are because they have annual leave coming up, decide that they need a break or a holiday to get away from everyday life. The other most popular reason is because tour operators are renowned from reducing prices of unsold stock in order to bring in revenue before the holiday departs. This can save you a decent amount from the original cost especially during off peak season dates. However, if there is high demand and few holidays remaining especially over school holiday dates, you could end up paying more.

Popular times for cheap last minute holidays come between autumn and winter, after peak season, and ironically within the peak season of summer itself. It is never difficult to find a good deal with us, it just all depends on your own flexibility. As the summer draws closer, last minute deals will become more ubiquitous across Europe, as undersold flights and resort prices begin to be reduced, leaving the patient ones the opportunity to grab a bargain. August, in particular, is a key time for a last minute family holiday, as you can save a great deal of money on holidays that would have ordinarily been much higher, had it been booked earlier in the year. Resorts in Spain, Greece and Turkey, usually have some of the finest four and five star resorts available at reduced prices.

Cheap Late Deals

The autumn and winter tend to be a better time for couples and holidays with friends, to grab last minute deals, as the peak crowds have died down, but high temperatures can still be found in the right areas, particularly southern Europe. The Canary Islands are always a wise decision later on in the year. Try holidays in Lanzarote, where the sun shines strong and with temperatures ranging in the mid to high 20s, passing down that opportunity would just be rude.

Towards the end of the year and going into January, some of the resorts in Europe may be too cold and out of season, and you may feel like you have missed the opportunity for a last minute getaway. But fear not, as we offer late deals to areas like the Antigua, Cuba and Jamaica in the Caribbean and Cape Verde, which has a modest 6-hour flight and high temperatures, off of the east coast of Africa, all of which offer vibrantly delightful alternatives to the cold of the UK winter.
