Top 5 Websites to Book a Holiday Tomorrow
- Lastminute.com – we recommend using the Deal Finder functionality. You have to select an airport and date range of your holiday but choose the “Anywhere” option and you will be presented with a range of available destinations departing tomorrow
- eDreams – you have to be specific with this site and provide airport, destination and date range. If you book with eDreams download the app to help you check-in quickly and track your flight.
- British Airways Holidays – very London centric for departures and limited portfolio of hotels. Use their holiday finder sand select “Any” nights to see the best deals departing tomorrow.
- Olympic Holidays – short haul holiday packages from a more traditional tour operator. A Greek specialist who has branched out to a wide number of Med destinations for year round breaks
- Boketo – a much smaller travel company but still online bookable, ATOL protected and member of ABTA. You have to be specific on your holiday destination, departing airport and date range.
Hopefully, you’ve secured that late deal with the providers above. If you are looking for a bespoke late holidays or a more specialist location then read on, we can still help.
With all late bookings, you need to be flexible. Your ideal hotel might be fully booked. Direct flights may be no longer available so flying indirect is the only option. Some destinations maybe simply out of bounds due to visa application timescales or travel vaccinations being required. If you are after something more tailor made, be prepared to call a travel company and talk through your ideal holiday. But be flexible if they can’t meet all your requirements.
