Tips for
Last Minute Travel
|
Many airlines and hotels are willing to offer deals to last minute travelers.
If you are willing to be flexible, you may find that you can find a
very affordable travel option. When flights and hotels aren’t completely
booked the airlines and hotels realize that they will not make any money
on these seats or rooms if they are not occupied so they become willing
to offer discounted rates to last minute travelers in order to generate
a profit from these seats or rooms. There are often certain restrictions
attached to the travel dates of these last minute getaways but if you
maintain an open schedule you may find yourself enjoying a relaxing
and affordable vacation.
Many airlines make their discounted fares for the following weekend
available at about mid week. These fares usually involve a Saturday
departure and a Monday or Tuesday return. If you have the flexibility
to take on of these trips, you may find yourself off to a vacation at
a very affordable price. If you don’t already receive these discounted
fares via email visit the airline website and see if they have an email
list that you can join where they send out there discounted air fares
on a weekly basis. This can save you the trouble of having to visit
the website of each individual airline to see who currently has specials.
You can often even choose your departure location when you sign up and
elect to only receive updates on fares departing from that location.
Another tip for last minute travel is to keep a small travel bag packed.
If you are waiting for a great deal on a beach vacation, pack a weekend
getaway bag with everything that you will need for your beach vacation
and keep the back stored in your closet. Sometimes would be travelers
see appealing airfares for the next couple of days but end up passing
on the trip because they start to think of all the packing that they
would have to do and decide that a last minute trip will be too stressful.
If you have a bag packed and ready for a specific destination, you will
be ready to go if the opportunity presents itself. Knowing that you
are already packed for a vacation makes it that much easier to make
the decision to make a last minute getaway.
If you have adventurous children, booking a last minute vacation may
not be a problem at all. If your children share your spirit of adventure
and are willing to head out on a vacation at a moments notice than there
is no reason to pass up last minute travel deals. However, if your children
are resistant to chance and unscheduled activities are likely to make
them nervous, than last minute travel may not be a good idea.
If you have pets, last minute travel can be difficult. Finding a sitter
for your animals on short notice can be difficult. For this reason you
should have several friends with whom you swap pet sitting favor with
on a regular basis. If you know you have at least a few people you can
count on for reliable pet sitting, it is much easier to decide on a
whim to take a last minute vacation.
Traveling at the last minute can be a very affordable option. If you
are flexible and willing to make compromises, you may find that last
minute travel is an exciting way to travel. Here you and your partners
can leave on a whim at a moments notice and enjoy an incredible adventure
together.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...

 Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
 Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
