The Bad
Nothing. It is what it is: Real last minute travel special deals.
As always: If you book with ANY online travel site, make sure to confirm reservations directly with the hotel and airlines!
Wow, we must say: the package prices here are exceptional! If you would like to book a weekend travel special deal, this weekend or next, don't be suprised if you can nail down the ENTIRE TRIP it for 1/2 the price of a normal airplane ticket. Check out these last minute travel deals found traveling from Seattle to Orlando! To other destinations, we found several last minute packages for around $250 per person, which included flight, hotel, and car. If we were to book the flight separately (same dates and airline) the flight alone was $550 per person! Usually we are skeptical of the whole "save money booking a package" hype, but lastminute.com truly has the best weekend travel specials around.
Make sure to wait until about 2-3 weeks prior to your expected departure and book under the "Last second deals" tab. This is where we found the best prices.
After you've booked your vacation, make sure you check under the innovative "Experiences" tab for fun stuff to do! Choose by your personality type and occasion.
