Real savings. Fast booking. Practical tips.
We all have those days when a cheap flight pops up or a last-minute trip becomes irresistible.
The trick is knowing where to search and how to book fast, without paying through the nose.
How to snag last-minute deals (in 5 minutes)
1) Be flexible. The cheapest seats and rooms often require minor date or time changes, check nearby days.
2) Use comparison engines and specialist apps: search both flight aggregators and direct travel sites to compare.
3) Combine transport types: sometimes a train + low-cost flight or split stay finds better value.
