Last minute flights

If you want to get the cheapest fare possible, search for different departure airports as prices can vary hugely between airports. For example, choose all London airports instead of London Heathrow, or compare prices from Manchester + Liverpool John Lennon + Leeds Bradford.

Follow these steps to get the best deals:

• Type your departure airport or city in the search box
• Type your destination, or even 'Anywhere', in the search box
• Use the filters to set your maximum price per person
• Choose a country to see all flights that meet your criteria
• Select the destination and date you fancy
• Choose your flight, and upgrade your fare to add baggage
• Finally, add travel insurance, car parking, car hire - and a hotel if you like

The jetsetters out there will be pleased to know that, generally, when it comes to finding cheap last minute flights, you’ll get a better deal the further you fly. When you look at price versus distance, flying long haul last minute is much better value for money. Booking a spontaneous trip somewhere exotic will often end up being cheaper than if you’d planned the same holiday in advance. Sounds like the perfect excuse, doesn’t it? Using our filters, you can hunt for last minute flights to Las Vegas, or search for a late deal on flights to Bangkok. Or, if you really want to embrace your impulsive side, you could even book flights to Australia.

And here's another tip: Book a hotel with your flight and it'll be cheaper still! Discounts on flights are available when you add your hotel on so you'll SAVE more by booking a holiday. Take a look at our Last Minute Holidays - they're a barg!
