Last-minute holiday deals

Prices for last-minute holiday packages are usually at their lowest between 4 and 8 weeks before you plan to travel. You may find extra discounts 1 or 2 weeks before your travel dates when hotels, airlines and car hire companies are trying to book their remaining seats, rooms or cars.

Being flexible with your dates and destination is often the key to finding great last-minute holiday deals. But even though prices may become lower in the weeks preceding your departure, it is usually cheaper to book your travel in advance, particularly if you are travelling abroad.

Popular resort areas, city breaks and beach spots with lots of hotel inventory often have competitive pricing, making them great options for spontaneous getaways.

You can find last-minute holidays that are covered by a free cancellation policy or that allow you to rebook your travel dates by adjusting your search filters to show accommodation and car hire where cancellations are permitted.
