Last Minute Travel

Pyser · 12-13-2011, 03:06 PM

Hello internet experts

Me and the wife are looking to take a last minute trip over Christmas week. Hot cold, drive, fly, America, Mexico, Europe, doesn't matter. Just out of Los Angeles. Can be 3 nights, or up to 7. Whatever is a good deal.

Besides your usual Expedia's and TravelZoo's, does anyone know where to find decent last minute deals?

Don't let me down, FOFC! TIA.

Check some of the "discount" airlines that don't always show up on those big searches... might be able to find a good "deal" there.

We have Allegiant Air here, they are pretty cheap but only fly to Vegas.

If you are interested in a cruise, http://www.vacationstogo.com/ has good last minute deals.

Vacationist and Jetsetter have discounted deals on pretty upscale properties. Most are short term limited time offers, and sometimes the prices are pretty attractive.

I'm a big fan of TripMasters (http://www.tripmasters.com/). Have used them to book trips as large as 3+ weeks in Eastern Europe and as small as 4 nights in Mexico City just this Thanksgiving.

The site's most useful for if you're going to 2+ usually unrelated destinations. For example, I ended up going to Oslo/Copenhagen a few years ago. It basically lets you create your own package and choose individual flights and hotels and add in tours/events.

Sometimes you can find good vacation packages through the airlines site. My wife and I did that over labor day and got a pretty good deal through continental.
