Sometimes the itch to escape hits out of nowhere — a grey gloomy Monday, overflowing inbox, or just that feeling like you've not had a break in ages. The good news? You don't need months of planning or a limitless budget to make it happen. Last minute holidays can still be brilliant value if you know where to look and how to play the timing right. Whether you're dreaming of a sun-soaked beach, a city break abroad, or a cosy weekend somewhere new, there are smart ways to bag a great deal without the stress of last-minute price hikes. Read on for our 5 top tips on how to get the best bang for your buck.
1. Plan it right
It’s all too easy to grab the first bargain deal you see when the price looks too good to be true. But some careful research can pay off. Is the hotel located near the beach, for example? If you end up splashing out on taxis each day, the costs can really add up. You might also discover that you could save big by going half board. Half Board at hotels and resorts in Tenerife often costs only slightly more than room only. That could mean big savings on your food budget over the course of a week.
2. Be flexible
To make big savings on a last minute deal, it pays to be as flexible as possible. That means if you can have some leeway on which day you fly, you’re off to a good start. It’s not always the case that flights and holiday packages cost more on weekends, and our site shows you all the best prices either side of your travel date. That way, you can be sure you’re getting the best deal possible for your last minute getaway.
3. Go all inclusive
An all-in-one package is usually much more cost effective than going room only. It also gives you peace of mind knowing that your flights, hotel, and all meals are covered, leaving you with only minimal extra costs. Take a look at our impressive number of all inclusive deals from ever-popular holiday favourites like Greece, Spain, and Crete to more far-flung exotic destinations such as Egypt and Turkey.
4. Explore
If you’re willing to explore further afield, there are some exceptional deals to be had, particularly in the off-season. From the vibrant island of Jamaica, to the chilled out beaches of Thailand, we offer a number of enticing long haul holidays to make your money go further.
