What is a last minute holiday + how to get the best price

Last minute holidays are booked anywhere from a few days to a few weeks before departure. Flights and hotels (plus transfers if you add them) come packaged in one booking, helping you catch the price drops that happen when airlines and hotels are trying to fill their last remaining seats and rooms.

Still weighing up whether to book now or wait? Read our full guide: do last-minute holiday deals still exist? Or see the full seasonal picture to work out which month suits you best before deciding just how last-minute you want to go.

The trade-off is flexibility for price: you'll have fewer hotels to choose from and less control over dates or airports than if you booked early, but often at a significantly lower cost. So, last minute holidays are a great option if you’re happy to go where the sun is shining – whether that's Spain, Turkey, Greece or somewhere else – rather than if you’re set on a specific hotel or popular destination, or tied to school holidays.

To get the best price:

Stay flexible on dates, airports and destination
Travel midweek or outside school holidays
Book your flight and hotel together in one ATOL-protected package
Move fast once you spot a deal – the best ones don't hang around

Last minute holidays by destination

Already know where you want to go? Find your deal the easy way with these quick links to last-minute holidays in popular destinations.

Algarve – Long summers mean the Algarve is a good shout for a spontaneous beach break, even in the spring or autumn > Algarve last minute holidays
Canary Islands – The Canaries are a reliable year-round choice, especially for winter sun when much of Europe cools down > Canary Islands last minute holidays
Cyprus – From the height of summer to the peace of winter, it’s always worth seeing what Cyprus deals are available, even at short notice > Cyprus last minute holidays
Egypt – Need a strong dose of sunshine and need it now? Egypt’s Red Sea resorts have your back! Also a good choice for longer stays > Egypt last minute holidays
Gran Canaria – With regular flights, a wide range of accommodation, and year-round warmth, there’s a lot of potential for last-minute availability here > Gran Canaria last minute holidays
Greece – A variety of islands means more flexibility to match your dates and budget, with lots of All Inclusive options too > Greece last minute holidays
Ibiza – Close enough for a short clubbing break or a last-minute family beach escape, with a wide range of accommodation > Ibiza last minute holidays
Lanzarote – A hot pick in the Canaries, Lanzarote is an all-year option with broad appeal, making it a straightforward choice for a late booking > Lanzarote last minute holidays
Majorca – Majorca has everything from family hotels to adult-only hideaways, so there’s a good chance you’ll find a deal to suit you > Majorca last minute holidays
Portugal – Long sandy beaches, the island of Madeira, and city breaks in Lisbon or Porto give plenty of possibilities for last-minute holidays to Portugal > Portugal last minute holidays
Spain – Short flight times and frequent departures make Spain one of the easiest last minute bookings > Spain last minute holidays
Tenerife – Year-round holiday weather means Tenerife can bring the sunny vibes whenever you’re ready to get away > Tenerife last minute holidays
Turkey – The huge variety of resorts, hotels and flights gives a lot of versatility for last minute escapes – and more chance prices will drop near departure > Turkey last minute holidays

Are last minute holidays worth it?

Yes - if you're flexible, they can offer good value, but choice is more limited.

Prices often drop close to departure, especially on unsold flights and hotels. But your choice will be more limited, and the best options go fast.

They're ideal if you're open-minded and value a good deal. Less so if you need specific dates, places or hotels.

Is It Cheaper To Book A Holiday Last Minute?

FAQs

What is considered last minute travel?

Last minute travel typically means booking within a few days to a few weeks before departure.

How late can you book a last minute holiday?

You can often book up to a few days before departure. Some package holidays are available 24 - 48 hours before travel, depending on flight and hotel availability.

Where can I book last minute holidays?

You can book online with live availability and instant confirmation.

Can you get All Inclusive last minute deals?

Yes – destinations like Turkey, Greece and Egypt offer a wide range of All Inclusive resorts, often with good last minute availability.

What's included, and what's usually extra?

Your hotel, flights and the airline’s basic luggage allowance are included in the price. You can add transfers, extra luggage, seat reservations, airport parking, security fast track, airport lounges, travel insurance and excursions through us either during or after booking. You’ll need to pay any local tourist taxes on arrival, and for any food, drink and other hotel services not included in your board basis during your stay.

When is payment due, and does the deposit/instalment plan still apply this close to departure?

It depends when you book. If you book less than 21 days before departure, you’ll need to pay in full straight away to secure your booking. Book 21 or more days ahead, and you can lock in your holiday with a deposit, then pay the balance before you travel. But either way, there’s no monthly payment option for bookings less than 12 weeks before departure. Find out more on our low deposit holidays page.

How is my booking confirmed, and by when?

We’ll send you a confirmation email as soon as everything’s sorted – usually straight after you book. But don’t worry if you don’t hear from us immediately. Every so often, it can take a little longer to finalise some elements of your holiday. If that happens, we’ll be in touch within 72 hours.

When is the best time to book a last minute holiday?

The best time is when you see a deal that matches your budget and dates. Prices can drop closer to departure, but availability can change quickly as the last flights and rooms get snapped up.

Does waiting longer reduce my choice of dates/hotels?

Yes, but you still have a good chance of finding a holiday that’s right for you. The most popular hotels, room types, dates and flight times get booked the quickest, so keep an open mind and be as flexible as you can.

What are the best destinations for last minute holidays?

Spain, Greece, Turkey, the Canary Islands and Egypt are among the best options, offering frequent flights, strong availability and good value close to departure.
