Which destination will you choose for your last-minute flight?

What is a last-minute flight?

A last-minute flight is a ticket that you book shortly before departure. This could be two weeks, a few days or even just one day in advance. The advantage is that you can head off on holiday quickly and spontaneously. For some destinations, last-minute flights may be cheaper than tickets booked further in advance, and with a good search you can find attractive last-minute deals. The downside is that you have less time to decide and compare your options.

Is a last-minute flight cheaper?

It is a myth that flights booked at the last minute are always cheaper than flights booked earlier. This strongly depends on the destination and your departure airport. Popular destinations such as London and New York often have several flights a day. To fill the remaining seats, airlines may offer cheaper fares close to departure. However, this is not the case for every destination. Booking six to eight weeks before departure can also be worthwhile.
