Last Minute Holidays 2025 FAQs
Are last minute holidays cheaper?
While there’s no guarantee that last minute holidays are cheaper than those booked in advance, you’ll often find great discounts on flights and hotels when you book close to the departure date.
When's best to book a last minute holiday?
This comes down to your flexibility. If you haven't got a particular destination, date, or duration in mind, we advise waiting until the very last minute (within a six-week window). Airlines are desperate to fill seats, so if there’s still some space left a few days before, you could see a significant price drop. With plenty of late deals to choose from, you’re bound to find something to suit your preferences. For those restricted to particular dates, for instance, the school holidays, we suggest booking around the five-week mark.
How do I find the best last minute holiday deals?
If you want to find the best last minute holiday deals, flexibility is essential. Make sure you’re open-minded when it comes to your destination, duration, airport and dates. It’s also important to weigh up all your options. You'll often find if you travel mid-week, during low season or choose less desirable flight times, the greater your chances of securing a late bargain.
What travel documents do I need for a last minute holiday?
Generally, you’ll need:
- A valid passport
- A visa (depending on your destination)
- Travel insurance (depending on your needs)
- Flight tickets/boarding passes
- Hotel booking confirmation
- EHIC (European Health Insurance Card)*
* EU (and EEA and Swiss) nationals living in the UK before 1 Jan 2021 can apply.
* UK nationals who were living in the EU before 1 Jan 2021 may be eligible for an EHIC issued by the UK.
- Further documents specific to your destination, e.g. vaccination certificates.
Can I book a last minute holiday that's all inclusive?
Absolutely! Thomas Cook makes last-minute trip planning a breeze, offering a wide range of All Inclusive holiday packages to popular destinations like Spain, Greece, and Turkey.
Does Thomas Cook offer late deal holidays?
We do indeed! From last minute city breaks to late beach holidays and last minute long haul holidays, stay ahead of the crowd by downloading the Thomas Cook app and subscribing to our exclusive deal alerts.
Are last minute holidays ATOL protected?
100% ! All of our holidays that include flights are protected by the ATOL scheme, providing absolute peace of mind from the moment you book.
