The 25 Best Websites and Apps to Find Last-Minute Travel Deals [2024]

Table of Contents

Best for last-minute vacation deals, best for last-minute flight deals, best for last-minute accommodation deals, best for last-minute cruise deals, best for last-minute tour deals, final thoughts.

We may be compensated when you click on product links, such as credit cards, from one or more of our advertising partners. Terms apply to the offers below. See our  Advertising Policy for more about our partners, how we make money, and our rating methodology. Opinions and recommendations are ours alone.

With so many travel websites out there, it’s tough to know which ones are worth considering when searching for that last-minute travel deal. If you’re looking for a beach vacation , some websites bundle flights, accommodations, and a rental car or transfer into a package deal that can be cheaper than booking the components individually .

Whether you’re looking for a last-minute cruise that includes bonus onboard credit or a late availability small group tour with 20% off the standard price, you’ll be sure to bag yourself a great deal using these recommended websites and apps.

Expedia Unreal Deals

Customers can book just about anything on the Expedia platform and mobile app, including vacation packages, flights , hotels , car hire , cruises , and excursions.

Sign up to the One Key rewards program to earn 1 OneKeyCash per dollar spent on hotels, flights, car rentals, and more. OneKeyCash can be redeemed for travel on Expedia as well as through Hotels.com and Vrbo.

Search for your vacation package by defining the destination, departure airport, and trip duration. You can filter your results using a variety of options such as guest rating, hotel amenities, and distance from downtown. Expedia displays Unreal Deals in the search results that are combined package savings equivalent to 1 night’s free accommodation .

Hot Tip:  Customers can book via the Expedia app to receive double reward points!

Pros and Cons of Expedia

  • One Key Rewards Program
  • Book your vacation package, rental car, and excursions all in 1 place
  • Change and cancellation policies differ for individual hotels and airlines; check your small print before booking
  • You might miss out on room upgrades by not booking directly

Priceline

Hotel location is often one of the most important factors when booking a vacation, and Priceline has a great map   to see where the accommodation is located, as well as a pop-up telling you the hotel star rating, price, and customer rating for quick browsing.

If hotel inventory is low for a particular property, Priceline displays when there is 1 room remaining , to ensure you don’t miss out. You can stick with the lead-in package price if you’re happy with the room type and flight times, or you can customize your package with changes/additions (usually at a cost).

Priceline has Express Deals on hotels with up to 60% off for flexible travelers . These opaque deals don’t display the hotel brand until after you book, but you will know the star rating, guest rating, and the general area of the hotel.

Pros and Cons of Priceline

  • Detailed map view for hotels
  • Express Deals with up to 60% off accommodation
  • No rewards program

Orbitz Home Page

Orbitz has several search options for vacation bundles, including combinations of flights , hotels , and car rental . From the main search box, you can specify whether you’re looking for direct flights or require accommodation for part of your trip.

Within your search results, you can filter by hotels that offer free cancellation, or by specific amenities such as a swimming pool or all-inclusive board. Register for Orbitz Rewards  and you’ll earn Orbucks to spend on hotel stays . 1 Orbuck can be redeemed for $1 and are earned on the following purchases:

  • 1% on flights and packages
  • 3% on hotels
  • 5% on hotels booked via the Orbitz app

Pros and Cons of Orbitz

  • Easy to book packages with or without car rental
  • Orbitz Rewards Program
  • Orbitz Rewards Program is not as generous as Expedia’s reward program for redemption value

Travelocity

Travelocity

Travelocity is another site where you can book everything together, or add-on elements, such as excursions, after you’ve booked. Travelocity searches over 400 airlines and 1 million properties worldwide to display the best deals for your vacation.

It’s quick and easy to register for a Travelocity account , and doing so will unlock an extra 10% off selected hotels . If you find a hotel, flight, cruise, or car rental at a lower price elsewhere, Travelocity will refund you the difference with its price match guarantee . This is up to 24 hours after you’ve booked for most travel components — for hotels, the price match is right up to the day before you’re due to arrive.

Pros and Cons of Travelocity

  • Book everything in 1 place
  • An extra 10% off hotels for Travelocity members
  • Price match guarantee
  • No loyalty program

TravelZoo Home Page

Travelzoo is a travel aggregator that rounds-up the best deals from multiple websites and links you through to the appropriate website to book. As Travelzoo has a huge database, these deals have been negotiated specifically to promote to members and are time-limited.

Although you can search for deals departing on specific dates with Travelzoo, it pays to be flexible and let the deal dictate your dates. Head over to the Top 20 Deals page that changes weekly to reflect the very best offers tested and verified by the Travelzoo team.

Pros and Cons of Travelzoo

  • Exclusive offers negotiated specifically for Travelzoo members
  • Fully refundable deals available
  • Limited-time offers and often only a set number available at the special deal price

Kayak home page

Kayak is a metasearch engine, finding and returning flights that match your search criteria, without actually booking with Kayak. The best thing about Kayak is how many filters you can use to narrow your search , saving you time trawling through irrelevant results. Filter by direct flights only, carry-on or checked luggage, take-off or landing times, airline alliances, and much more.

Sign-up for Kayak Price Alerts to receive email notifications when prices change based on your search criteria.

Pros and Cons of Kayak

  • Lots of filters to refine your search
  • Booking direct with an airline so any frequent flyer points can be earned
  • No loyalty program since bookings are not with Kayak

CheapOair

CheapOair is an online travel agent with bookings made directly with CheapOair. When searching for a flight, the results page tells you if a price is valid on a limited number of tickets to ensure you don’t miss out on that price.

The CheapOair rewards program gives members up to 20% off flights and up to 55% off hotels . For signing up, members receive 500 points and a further 500 points for their first booking. After you’ve booked once or spent $1,000, you’ll move to the Silver tier, where members earn 1 point per $1 spent. Gold and Platinum tiers provide higher point earnings. 1 point = 0.5 cents, so 200 points would be required to redeem $1 in travel credit.

Pros and Cons of CheapOair

  • Rewards program with member discounts and reward point earnings
  • CheapOair credit card available with 7 points earned per $1 spent
  • Charges a booking fee (although occasionally has money-off promo codes for the fee)

Hot Tip: Download the award-winning CheapOair app and receive 2 points per $1 spent when booking through the app. 

Secret Flying

Secret Flying Home Page

Secret Flying is constantly on the lookout for pricing errors and super cheap flash sales , which it says saves its customers, on average, 90% on flights. If you’re flexible on dates and destinations, you’re in for a treat, but you can also bag a bargain on a set destination. Download the Secret Flying app and receive notifications with flight deals to your chosen city, country, or region.

Pros and Cons of Secret Flying

  • Cheap airline error fares are often honored by the airlines
  • Push notifications with flights matching your criteria
  • Deals aren’t as helpful for travelers inflexible with destination or travel dates

Google Flights

Google Flights

Google Flights has a clean, simple interface and some handy tools to find cheap flight deals. If you’re flexible on destination and are just interested in the best deal, you can input your departure airport and use the map view to view prices around the world .

If you know your destination but are flexible on the date you travel, take a look at Google’s price graph that displays the cheapest and most expensive days to fly .

Google Flights Price Graph

Pros and Cons of Google Flights

  • Bookings are directed to the airline, so you can earn loyalty program points
  • Price graphs to identify the cheapest travel dates
  • Doesn’t always display the cheapest flights that might be available with a small online travel agent
  • Occasionally displays a price that no longer exists

Hot Tip:  Check out our dedicated guide on how to use Google Flights to find cheap flight deals. 

AirfareWatchdog

Airfare Watchdog

AirfareWatchdog employs real people to scour thousands of sites for the best flight deals, including error fares . If you’re looking to jet off last minute, or are flexible with your date of travel , that’s when you can really bag a deal with AirfareWatchdog. Prices are also tracked over time, so you can be confident when AirfareWatchdog flags a great deal as it knows the best time to book.

Sign-up for airfare alerts and you’ll receive updates to your email inbox when flight prices increase or decrease .

Pros and Cons of AirfareWatchdog

  • Real people search and flag the best flight deals
  • Price alerts that help you decide the best time to book
  • Only compares flights and hotel prices, so you’ll need to search elsewhere for car rental and excursions

Booking.com

Booking.com

Booking.com is the go-to accommodation booking site for millions of travelers, providing a seamless search and booking experience. Travelers can browse hotels, apartments, and other unique properties all over the world, with many offering free cancellation.

When you complete 2 stays within 2 years, you’ll automatically receive Genius level 1 status to benefit from 10% off selected properties. Members that complete 5 stays within 2 years will receive level 2 status, with up to 15% off, free breakfast, and free room upgrades with selected properties.

Pros and Cons of Booking.com

  • Automatic enrollment in the Genius loyalty program
  • Free cancellation is offered on many properties
  • You won’t earn hotel loyalty points because you are not booking directly with the hotel

Last Minute Travel

Last Minute Travel

Last Minute Travel lives up to its name by providing excellent deals on last-minute hotels, flights, car rentals, cruises , and more. Flexible travelers will love the Undercover Hotels feature, where super low offers keep the hotel’s identity a secret until the booking is completed. You’ll know the hotel’s general location, star rating, guest review score, and board basis to help make your decision.

Join the Last Minute Travel Club to benefit from exclusive member-only deals and to earn points towards free travel . Membership is $50 per year, and if you don’t save the cost of your membership through your exclusive deals, you’ll receive a voucher to cover the difference.

Pros and Cons of Last Minute Travel

  • Undercover Hotels provide up to 65% off, revealing the hotel name after booking
  • Filter hotel results by Tripadvisor review scores
  • $50 membership fee for the Last Minute Travel Club
  • No map to search for hotels in a particular area

Hopper App

Hopper is a clever little app that predicts hotel and flight prices up to a year in advance with 95% accuracy . You could save up to 40% on your hotel by booking with the app. Hopper will send you push notifications about recent searches and alert you to price rises and increases for particular properties.

The color-coded calendar displays what dates have the cheapest rates using green, amber, and red highlighting. Once you’ve searched for a destination, you can choose to “watch” specific hotels to receive push notifications with hidden deals  that can’t be found anywhere else online.

Pros and Cons of Hopper App

  • Intelligent predictions on the best time to book
  • Hidden deals that are not available anywhere else
  • You can’t contact Hopper’s customer service team by telephone — this must be done through the app

Hotels.com Home Page

Hundreds of thousands of hotels, apartments, and holiday rentals are available to book on Hotels.com in over 200 countries and territories. You can book via its website or app and sign up to receive emails with secret prices for email subscribers only .

You can filter your search by the usual star rating, guest review rating, price, etc., but also by proximity to key landmarks or by accommodation theme, such as luxury, historic, and romantic.

Hotels.com participated in the One Key rewards program, which allows you to earn and use points on travel booked through Hotels.com, Expedia, and Vrbo.

Pros and Cons of Hotels.com

  • Secret prices for email subscribers
  • One Key rewards program

Tripadvisor

Tripadvisor

Tripadvisor might be your first port of call to check reviews for just about anything travel-related, but you can also search for hotel deals . When selecting your stay dates, Tripadvisor highlights the cheapest days in orange on the calendar, so you’ll know what days to avoid. Your search results can be filtered by your minimum and maximum budget, amenities, and distance from popular landmarks, in addition to many other options.

Alerts tell you if the price is a certain percentage lower than usual , so you’ll know whether you’re getting a good deal. As bookings are not made with Tripadvisor, your search results will tell you which website the deal is available with and displays comparison pricing against alternative websites.

Pros and Cons of Tripadvisor

  • Color-coded calendar reflecting cheapest dates
  • Alerts flagging if a specific price is cheaper than usual
  • Prices displayed often don’t include taxes and fees

CruiseDirect.com

CruiseDirect.com

Keep an eye on last-minute offers with CruiseDirect.com , where a cancellation may mean you can get your hands on a prime stateroom at a fantastic price . Check back regularly as prices fluctuate depending on how long is left before a cruise departs . Bonus inclusions and offers are displayed with little icons indicating free onboard spending, discounted shore excursions, or low deposits.

There are no booking fees with CruiseDirect.com, and the company has a price match guarantee if you find the same offer elsewhere.

Pros and Cons of CruiseDirect.com

  • No booking fees
  • Offers are generally not exclusive, so you could book them with any other cruise provider

Cruise.com

Cruise.com gives customers access to special pricing and extras that can’t be booked anywhere else . Visit the Last Minute Cruises page and filter by cruise duration to see available deals, including cashback offers, onboard credit, and free gratuities.

1. Hotel Tonight

An open laptop showing the homepage of HotelTonight, a travel website where you can make last minute hotel reservations

A perennial favorite app among SmarterTravel editors, HotelTonight has been finding travelers’ deep hotel discounts since 2010.

The well-designed booking engine serves up clever recommendations and insider info—plus those remarkable markdowns. Keep an eye out for the Daily Drop, the biggest discount of the day (which you only have 15 minutes to book).

CheapCaribbean.com has last minute deals , many of them short-lived flash sales. Though you can’t hem and haw about whether or not to go, you’ll often have plenty of time to plan. For example, a four-night air/hotel package to the Dominican Republic might start at $509 per person for travel four to six months from now—but it must be booked in the next four days.

Netherlands-based LastMinute.com also covers a range of last minute trip options, including flights, hotels, Eurostar train tickets, vacation packages, car rentals, theater tickets, and experiences. A Paris search turned up several highly-rated hotel options at $75-$85 per night at press time. This site also allows you to filter by hotels that offer free cancellation, a great perk if your travel plans change last minute. LastMinute.com also has “top-secret hotels” available for opaque booking, though in my Paris search they were actually a bit more expensive than the named hotels in my results.

Caribbean Vacations

Best Last Minute Travel Apps for Your Phone

Most people tend to do everything on their phones, from booking restaurants, reading the news, and of course, booking travel. These apps are our favorites for booking last minute travel.

Elude is more than an app, it is an experience for the well-seasoned traveler. Not only does it let you search trips from your departure city to anywhere in the world, it gets to know you so you’ll find out about the best deals catered to your interests. Keep tabs on your trips, where you’ve been and what you’ve done. Their search feature allows you to put what your budget is, and what dates you want to travel, then showing you details for trips that fall under your criteria.

These days, vacation rentals are all the rage, and finding a last minute travel deal for accommodations can be tricky if you don’t want to break the bank. That’s where apps like VRBO come in. You can search rooms, apartments and houses available to rent wherever you are going. Often, owners who have had a cancellation or just want the place booked will discount the price last minute as to not totally lose out on making any money. You might just find a unique stay, like a treehouse or secluded cabin.

Search for hotels, vacation packages, flights—you name it—and all of your bookings will stay on the app for easy access. Looking for the perfect trip to Las Vegas last minute?

Google Flights

Google Flights is a search engine that gathers fares from other travel sites. According to CNET, it bests other travel search sites , due to the fact that it's super speedy (plug in your dates, departure, and arrival destinations, and flights pop up almost instantaneously). If you can be flexible, leave your destination blank and then scroll through the list of cities that pop up to find the cheapest flights for your upcoming dates.

Cheapoair.com

Cheapoair.com is all about discounted flights. Click on its "Last Minute Flights" tab to find the absolute cheapest rates (if you're interested, book it as soon as possible before it goes up!). A recent sweet deal was a roundtrip flight from Philadelphia to Orlando starting at $81 (2 weeks out from departure date). There's also a toll-free number to call to hear about unpublished fares.

Vayama.com focuses on international flights, and there are always good last-minute deals to be found right on the homepage, so you don't have to go clicking around.

Last-Minute Hotel Deals

HotelTonight

While this app lets you book up to a week in advance (or 100 days in advance for stays up to 14 nights), it's really geared to last-minute bookings, so if there's a hotel you've had your eye on, this is your chance to stay there at a reduced rate. Deals go live each day at noon, and there are thousands of hotels to choose from, including the Mondrian in Miami. Download for iTunes and Google Play .

Another last-minute hotel-booking app is One:Night, which lists its same-day offers starting at 3 p.m. Though operated by Standard International — the parent company behind Standard Hotels, which are listed already — it also has several other stylish hotels, such as New York's Gramercy Park Hotel and LA's Viceroy L’ermitage Beverly Hills. Download for iTunes and Google Play .

While this last-minute hotel-booking app got its start as a website in England in 1999, it now has access to more than 200,000 properties around the world (but it offers more U.K. hotels than anyone else, including places like London's Radisson Blu Edwardian Grafton and the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton in Scotland).

It still has the "Name Your Own Price" feature for choosing hotels, which offers steep discounts (if you don't mind not knowing where you'll be staying until you book). Its app has app-only hotel deals, including super last-minute deals with its "Tonight Only" feature.

Expedia allows you to save big when you bundle a trip — meaning book your hotel and airfare together — and often has great last-minute prices, but for its most up-to-the-minute offerings, check the Unreal Deals tab.

How to Get the Best Last-Minute Travel Deals

Impulsive travel may sound expensive, but it’s certainly doable on a budget. whether you’re searching for deals on last minute flights, cruises, or hotels, here’s what to know when you’re booking just a few days or weeks out..

How to Get the Best Last-Minute Travel Deals

Taking a last-minute trip doesn’t have to cost a lot—there are tons of deals you can find, if you know where to look.

For the uninitiated, choosing the right time to book travel can feel like one of life’s great mysteries. Indeed, prices are constantly moving up and down—and those changes can make or break your travel budget. Happily, for those inclined toward more impulsive last-minute trips, a little savvy can go a long way in not busting your budget.

Our best advice in a nutshell: Have a few potential destinations in mind and enroll in airfare alerts for those places because when it comes to flying, there is little to gain from procrastination. (And make sure your passport is up to date ; if that dream trip to a faraway land pops up and you can’t take advantage of it, you’ll be sorry.)

Here’s our guide to getting the best deals on last-minute flights , cruises , and hotels —because even a spontaneous trip can benefit from a little planning.

Set up fare alerts to get notified when flight prices drop.

How to find last-minute flights

Airfare is typically the biggest single expense of most trips, and its associated price tag boils down to supply and demand. Pricing is determined by several factors, including timing (like the season, day of the week, and even what time of day you fly) and the destination itself. Many airlines put tickets up for sale as far as 11 months before the flight—but you’ll likely be paying a premium for them, because the window from six to 11 months out is typically an expensive time to buy. From 22 to 121 days out, fares are often significantly cheaper, when prices are usually near to their historical average lows; this is the sweet spot for fare deals.

In airline terms, “last minute” is the period less than three weeks before the flight. It’s not recommended to wait any longer than 21 days before your flight to book because prices are unlikely to drop so close to the departure depate. But if you find yourself booking a last-minute trip, your best bet is to compare fares online with an aggregator like CheapOair , Expedia , Kayak , or Travelocity . (Tip: Once you find a fare you like, be sure to check that airline’s own website to see if it’s offered any cheaper directly through the carrier.) Note that no one airline is always going to be the cheapest; even low-cost carriers can sometimes rack up higher rates than traditional legacy airlines.

If possible, be flexible with your airport. Many large cities have at least two options. For example, you don’t have to fly to LAX to get to Los Angeles when nearby Orange County, Burbank, or Ontario could possibly be cheaper if you’re willing to drive a little further into the city.

If you don’t have to book immediately, set up a fare alert to get an email when an airline drops the fare on your chosen route. Good sites for automated fare alerts include Fare Compare , Airfare Watchdog , Skyscanner , and Google Flights . If you have a favorite airline, you can also set up email alerts from your home city on your frequent-flyer profile.

How to book a last-minute cruise

You can find last-minute cruise deals from about three months out to just days before the sailing date. Unlike airfare, cruise prices are known to drop as the sailing date approaches. While the best staterooms on ships tend to sell out early, and for full price, you can usually still find staterooms in almost any category closer to embarkation (although these deals might be for cabins in less desirable areas of the ship, such as ones that are far from the elevator banks). If you live within driving distance of the departure port, you’ll save a boatload of money, too, because you won’t have to purchase airfare.

Time your last-minute trip to coincide with a “shoulder season” destination when cheaper sailings can be found. The shoulder season in the Caribbean, for instance, includes September through November, when there’s a higher chance of hurricanes, and also the weeks in early December and January that frame the busy holiday season.

Look for discounted cruises on the websites of the cruise lines themselves, along with aggregators like Cruise.com , Cruises.com , Expedia , and even Costco .

How to get a last-minute hotel deal

Hotels can be inexpensive when you’re booking a night or two in advance, unless there’s a major event in the destination you plan to visit. Hotels.com and Hoteltonight.com are great go-tos for last-minute deals. (As a bonus, when you create a profile on Hotels.com, you get a free hotel night after your 10th-night stay.) Many hotels vow to publish their lowest rate directly on their own site, but it is helpful to be able to look at all of the options in one place. Room77 and Trivago search dozens of sites, displaying the lowest price, and a provide a direct link to make the booking.

One final tip: Make sure to “bundle up”

Most airline sites now allow you to book your full vacation package with them—something online travel agencies like Expedia and Travelocity have been doing for years. You may want to stick with your go-to airline site if you are looking to use points or stay with your preferred airline. You’ll often find significant savings if you’re able to book it all—flight, hotel, even rental car—at the same time, plus there’s the convenience of having your whole trip organized in one confirmation email. (Tip: If you do end up arranging your trip with a combination of confirmations, TripIt is a great resource for keeping everything organized.) Now get going—you’ve got a bag to pack and a plane to catch.

2. Make Reservations for Accommodation and Car Rental

It’s best to make reservations for accommodation and car rental as far in advance as possible – this might only be a few days in advance, but it’s better than showing up somewhere on the day hoping you can book. 

Securing your preferred lodging ensures you have a comfortable place to stay while booking a rental car provides convenience and flexibility during your journey. 

By making these arrangements before you arrive, you can guarantee availability and potentially save money . Take the time to research, compare options, and make reservations to ensure a seamless travel experience.

3. Empty Memory Cards and Backup Devices

Don’t forget to empty your memory cards and back up your devices! 

This ensures you have sufficient storage space to capture all the wonderful moments during your travels. Additionally, backing up your devices provides an extra layer of security in case of loss or damage. 

Stay prepared and ready to capture memories by clearing your memory cards and creating backups before you set off on your adventure.

4. Order Foreign Currency

To ensure smooth financial transactions during your trip, consider ordering foreign currency in advance.

5. Purchase Travel Insurance

Another crucial item on your travel checklist is purchasing travel insurance. 

It provides a buffer against unexpected events such as medical emergencies, trip cancellations, or lost luggage. Having travel insurance offers peace of mind and ensures you’re prepared for any unforeseen circumstances during your journey. 

6. Clear Out Your Travel Wallet/ Purse

Before your trip, take the time to clear out your travel wallet or purse. Remove unnecessary cards, receipts, and any items that you won’t need during your travels. 

This helps streamline your wallet, making it easier to access important documents like identification, credit cards, and travel-related information.

7. Check You Have the Correct Adapter Plugs

Before travelling to a different country, it’s essential to check that you have the correct adapter plugs for your electronic devices. Different countries have different electrical outlets, so having the right adapter ensures that you can charge your devices without any issues.

8. Arrange Housesitters or Pet Care

If you have pets or need someone to take care of your home while you’re away, it’s important to arrange for housesitters or pet care in advance. This ensures that your furry friends are well taken care of and your home remains secure. 

9. Make Sure Bills Are Paid

Part of your checklist to travel should include making sure you’ve paid any outstanding bills. 

Before heading off on your trip, it’s crucial to make sure your bills are paid or ensure there’s enough money in your accounts for upcoming payments.

Settle any outstanding balances, such as rent, utilities, and credit card payments. This ensures you won’t have any late fees or disruptions in services while you’re away.

The Day Before You Go – Last Minute Travel Reminders

Now, before you begin on that incredible voyage, here are a few additional things to remember before travelling. Make sure you have finished this checklist before leaving on vacation.

11. Check-in Online

One of the last minute things to do that a lot of people overlook is to check in. To save time and avoid long queues at the airport, take advantage of online check-in. 

Most airlines offer this convenient option, allowing you to select seats, print boarding passes, and even drop off your luggage in advance. Online check-in streamlines the airport process, giving you more time to relax and enjoy your journey.

12. Look up the Weather Forecast

Before finishing packing for your trip, be sure to check the weather forecast for your destination. This helps you pack appropriate clothing and accessories, whether it’s sunny and hot or rainy and cool. 

By staying informed about the weather conditions, you can better plan and prepare for a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience.

13. Prepare the House

Take some time to prepare your house. 

Secure all windows and doors, turn off lights and appliances, and adjust the thermostat to an energy-saving setting. Consider forwarding mail, arranging for plant care, and setting up timers for lights to give the appearance of someone being home. 

By preparing your house, you can have peace of mind knowing it’s in order while you’re away.

14. Print Out Important Documentation

As part of your last-minute travel checklist, don’t forget to print out important documentation. This includes your travel itinerary, hotel reservations, flight tickets, and any necessary visas or permits. 

Having physical copies of these documents serves as a backup in case of electronic device failure or connectivity issues. Keep your important travel information handy and easily accessible by printing it out before you embark on your journey.

15. Drink Lots of Water

Staying hydrated is crucial, especially during travel. Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your trip. 

Aeroplane cabins and unfamiliar environments can be dehydrating, so keep a refillable water bottle handy and aim to drink water regularly. Proper hydration contributes to your overall well-being and ensures a more comfortable travel experience.

16. Make Sure Electronics Are Charged

Before leaving for your trip, ensure that your electronic devices are fully charged. This includes your smartphone, tablet, camera, and any other gadgets you’ll be taking with you. 

Having fully charged devices ensures that you can use them for entertainment, communication, and capturing memories without worrying about running out of battery power.

Last Minute Packing Checklist

Don’t be rushed, and be sure to complete your last-minute packing list! These are the final details to remember and that I always make sure to pack with me for a vacation!

17. Pack Something Warm

One item to add to your last minute vacation travel checklist is something warm. Even if you’re travelling to a warm destination, it’s always a good idea to pack something cosy.  

Weather can be unpredictable, and you may encounter cool evenings or heavily air-conditioned spaces. A light jacket, sweater, or scarf can provide comfort and ensure you’re prepared for any unexpected temperature changes during your vacation.

18. A Book or Something to Read

Don’t forget to pack a book or something to read for your vacation. Whether you prefer a paperback, e-reader, or audiobook, having something to delve into during travel or relaxation time can be a delightful escape. 

A good book can entertain, inspire, and enhance your vacation experience, allowing you to unwind and immerse yourself in different worlds.

19. Pack Reading Glasses And/or Sunglasses

Reading glasses ensure you can comfortably enjoy books, maps, or any fine print you may come across. Sunglasses protect from the sun’s glare and UV rays, allowing you to explore and enjoy outdoor activities without straining your eyes. 

Don’t forget to include these essential things you need for a vacation for clear vision and eye protection on your trip.

20. Medication and First Aid Kit

It’s always essential to pack any necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. Bring an ample supply of your prescription medications, along with any over-the-counter remedies you may need. 

Additionally, include items like band-aids, antiseptic ointment, pain relievers, and any other essentials for minor injuries or ailments. Having these items on hand ensures you’re prepared to address any health concerns that may arise during your trip.

21. Snacks and Water Bottle

Snacks and a reusable water bottle are essentials for the last minute things to pack for vacation. Having snacks on hand can help keep hunger at bay during long journeys or when you’re on the go. 

A refillable water bottle allows you to stay hydrated throughout your trip and helps reduce single-use plastic waste. By packing snacks and a water bottle, you’ll be prepared for hunger pangs and can easily quench your thirst while enjoying your vacation.

22. Pen and Notebook

When preparing things to pack for vacation, remember to pack a pen and notebook. 

A pen can come in handy for filling out customs forms, jotting down important information, or even leaving notes for housekeeping. 

A small notebook allows you to capture memorable moments, make travel journal entries, or simply jot down any thoughts or ideas that come to mind during your trip. 

23. Lipbalm and Moisturiser

Climate changes, sun exposure, and air travel can cause dryness and discomfort. Keep your lips hydrated and your skin moisturized by applying lip balm and moisturizer regularly. These small but essential items will help keep your skin and lips feeling soft, nourished, and protected throughout your trip.

24. Chargers for Phones, Laptops and Other Electronics

Ensure you pack chargers for your phones, laptops, and other electronic devices as part of your last-minute holiday essentials. 

Having the necessary chargers will keep your devices powered up and ready for use during your trip. Whether you’re capturing precious moments, staying connected, or navigating with maps, having fully charged electronics is essential for a smooth and enjoyable vacation experience.

25. Hand Sanitizer

As part of your travel preparations, don’t forget to pack hand sanitizer. It’s important to maintain good hand hygiene while travelling, especially in public spaces and during transit. 

Hand sanitizer helps kill germs and prevents the spread of illnesses. Keep a travel-sized bottle of hand sanitizer in your bag or pocket for convenient use whenever soap and water are not readily available. 

26. Tissues

Tissues come in handy for various situations, such as wiping hands, cleaning surfaces, or even as a makeshift napkin. They’re lightweight and easy to carry, making them a practical addition to your travel essentials. 

27. Mints or Chewing Gum

Include mints or chewing gum in your vacation checklist. These small treats can freshen your breath and provide a pleasant taste during long flights, road trips, or sightseeing adventures. Whether it’s for a burst of freshness or to help alleviate ear pressure during flights, mints or chewing gum can be a refreshing addition to your travel essentials.

8 Best Apps for Last-minute Flights and Hotels

Download these travel apps so you're prepared for your next last-minute getaway.

If you're feeling spontaneous and want to head out of town for a last-minute getaway, you'll need some help finding affordable airfare and hotel rates on a whim. There's a good chance you won't be in the mood to sit on your laptop and track price trends, either.

So instead of wasting time bouncing between websites, download these tried and true apps to make planning a last-minute vacation easier. These flight- and hotel-booking apps will help get you on the road — and likely save you money, to boot.

Whether you want a flight, hotel room, car rental, or total trip package, Expedia's easy-to-navigate app has thousands of last-minute choices for any destination. Though actual prices are usually around 20 percent cheaper than what's advertised on Expedia's website, it's not unusual to find savings of up to 50 percent.

Download for iOS or Android .

Type in where you want to go, and this app (or its website) offers up the lowest available fares over the next several months. Being flexible about your destination pays off: if you want to skip town this weekend, simply select your dates, and Fareness will display a list of the cheapest airfares to various cities.

Download for iOS .

If you're looking to book a flight tonight or tomorrow, this app from flight tracker Hopper is your go-to helper. The inventory is from major airlines as well as low-cost carriers, and the prices are always favorable. The app even allows you to keep track of flights so you will be alerted when prices go down.

HotelTonight

Snag a discounted hotel room for the same day or up to a week in advance in more than 1,700 cities. Look for properties with special Geo Rates, which target users based on their GPS location. For example, while you're waiting for a flight at the airport, search for a room at your destination — you can sometimes get a better deal than if you wait to book after you've landed.

Download for i OS or Android .

Cruise Finder by iCruise.com

You normally have to book cruises well in advance — sometimes even a year out. But those looking to hop on deck on short notice can use Cruise Finder's Hot Deal feature to find last-minute savings. Go ahead and book that ocean-view room on a three-night cruise in the Bahamas. You'll pay as little as $200 for a departure within the next month or about $500 for next-day travel.

Download it for iOS or Android .

SecretEscapes

This app lists last-minute deals for upscale hotels — sometimes as much as 70 percent off the rates published online — at properties all around the world. Travelers can also use it to book air and hotel vacation packages.

Travelzoo's app not only lists discounts on packages, hotels, cruises, and flights, but also has an extensive range of special offers for restaurants, spas, and activities. For example, on a recent search, we found a deal for business class tickets on round-trip flights to South America starting at $799.

This app is loaded with suggestions for dining, activities, and events, which you can search based on your travel preferences. It also offers savings on hotel rooms that average around 25 percent off rates advertised online.

Check prices at nearby airports

If you’re booking a last-minute flight, don’t just search for the airports closest to your current location and destination. Instead, widen your search to include nearby airports. Decide how far you’re willing to travel before you take off and after you land, and include any airports that fall into that radius in search results.

For example, if you’re flying to New York City, you may think JFK is the obvious option, but Newark or La Guardia are sometimes cheaper. Likewise, there are more than five airports in and around London. The one closest to your final destination may not be the cheapest, so check ticket prices for the other airports, too.

There are a few downsides to consider when flying into a cheaper airport that might be farther away. It will likely take longer to get from the airport to your hotel or office if you choose a cheaper flight that goes into a less convenient airport. And don’t forget to factor in the cost of transportation for that increased distance.

In a destination like New York City or London, ubiquitous and inexpensive public transportation options like buses, subways and trains may still be cheaper than an expensive last-minute flight to your intended destination. But in less popular tourist destinations, it may wind up costing you more once you land to save a little bit of cash on your flight.

Platforms like Google Flights or Expedia often offer the option to include nearby airports when searching.

Search for one-way flights

Another option is to search for one-way flights instead of round-trip. Most airlines price their flights like this anyway for domestic flights at least, but if you search multiple airlines at once, you may just find a good deal on two one-way flights on different airlines. This allows you to choose the cheapest one-way flight in both directions, which has the potential to save you cash.

The downsides may include having to pay for luggage on several different airlines. If, for example, you flew one-way with Southwest (which allows two checked bags per passenger for all flights) and flew with Spirit on the way back, you would have to pay for your checked luggage and your carry-on during the second leg. So be aware that airline luggage policies differ (sometimes vastly).

Google Flights and Skyscanner offer the option to show separate tickets in search results. As you can see, separate tickets can save you $100 in this example from Dallas to Calgary.

One step further: Search for single legs

A more complicated approach to the above is searching for and booking flights one leg at a time. For example, if you have to book a last-minute flight from Austin to Cincinnati and can only find expensive connecting flights, try searching for flights from Austin to Denver and then Denver to Cincinnati. Since Denver (or Atlanta, Chicago, etc.) is a major airport, there’s the potential to find cheap and direct one-way flights from one destination to the next.

As you can see, a direct flight costs $254 while booking two separate single legs costs as little as $200. The amount you could save will vary by destination.

This practice is risky, however, for multiple reasons. First, even if you do save on airfare, you could run into the same problem with luggage fees as booking one-way flights, even if all your travel legs are on the same airline (you’ll have to pay for luggage for each individual booking). But more importantly, if you miss your second flight because the first was delayed, the airline isn’t responsible — which means you could pay more if you have to rebook your final flight.

That said, searching for single legs of travel to find cheaper last-minute flights is best saved for when you can budget several hours or more between connecting flights.

Search for individual tickets if traveling in a group

Another way to potentially save money on last-minute flights (or any flights, for that matter), is to search for individual tickets even if you’re traveling in a group of two or more. Occasionally, you’ll be able to find a lower price on one seat if there’s only one left at that price point.

But you’ll only see it if you search for single seats. If you search for flights for two or more, that lower-priced single seat won’t show up.

More lower-cost flights may be available when searching for seats for one person than a family of four.

If you do find a lower-priced single seat on a flight, book it first, then go back for the other seats and book them separately. This could save a fair amount on at least one ticket.

However, know that you probably won’t be sitting together since you booked separately.

How to rebook quickly for a canceled flight

If your flight is canceled, most airlines will rebook you on their next flight with available space for no additional charge, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. But sometimes there aren't any additional flights available on the same airline — or sometimes the future flight times aren't ideal.

This is an ideal scenario to employ the tactics outlined above. This can improve your odds of getting to your destination without too much disruption to your other travel plans.

Purchasing travel insurance or booking your flights with a card that has travel insurance benefits can help you mitigate the financial risks of last-minute flight changes.

Do one better by adding the Cancel For Any Reason upgrade, which expands your covered reasons for seeking refunds on your upfront travel expenses, like hotels and airfare.

Last-minute flight deals are out there

While last-minute flights will frequently cost more than those booked in advance with flexible travel dates, there are ways to find cheaper last-minute flights. Check nearby airports, search for one-way flights, and consider booking one ticket at a time in order to save cash on impromptu travel plans.

Many domestic airlines allow you to book a flight online up to two hours before departure, but the policy varies from airline to airline. If you’re cutting it close, you can try calling the airline’s reservation line on the way to the airport. The best option, though, is to go straight to the airport ticket counter where they’ll be able to book you on the next available flight. Keep in mind there may be extra fees (in the $25 to $50 range) for booking over the phone or in person at the airport.

Last-minute flight deals are hard to come by. Conventional wisdom might lead you to believe that airlines drop prices to fill seats as it gets closer to the departure date, but the reality is demand is usually strong enough for airlines to overbook many of their flights. Instead of offering last-minute flight deals, airlines can usually sell their cheapest fares first. Then they increase the prices right before the flight to take advantage of business travelers and others who need to fly immediately and are willing to pay for it.

Search for last-minute flights on aggregators like Google Flights for upcoming flights. If you are flexible about where to go, only input the dates you want to travel and leave the destination field blank to see a map of some of the best deals. You might also want to consider flying at off-hours or to a different airport.

Flying standby allows a ticketed passenger to take a different flight, usually on the same day and to the same destination as the original flight. Depending on the airline, you may be able to call to find out about seat availability and show up early to the airport and put your name on the standby list for your desired flight. If you get onboard this way, you may be able to do this without paying extra fees, particularly if you are an elite member of the airline’s loyalty program. Some airlines also allow you to get a confirmed ticket on a different flight for a same-day travel change fee.

Delta Air Lines and Alaska Airlines both offer bereavement fares in case you have to fly for the death or imminent death of a family member. You must call to book this type of flexible ticket on Delta, but check the published fares first; those still might be cheaper than the bereavement fare. Alaska Airlines offers a 10% discount on published fares for those flying to take care of the passing of an immediate family member. You must call to book, and it only applies for travel starting in the next seven days.

Learn more about the map styles

Each map type offers different information and each map style is designed for a different purpose. Read about the styles and map projection used in the above map (Political Location Map of Ural'skaya).

Political map

Political map shows how people have divided up the world into countries and administrative regions such as states, counties, provinces, municipalities and postal zones. Different colors represent different countries and regions, whereas different shades of one color represent their internal divisions.

The choice of color is not related to the characteristics of Ural'skaya, colors are assigned to countries and regions randomly. The capital is marked with a black star inside a white circle. Squares and circles of various size indicate other major cities.

Map projection of the location map

The location map of Ural'skaya combines two projections: the orthographic azimuthal projection for the globe and the simple geographic projection for the rectangular part of the map. Geographic projection has straight meridians and parallels, each degree of latitude and longitude is the same size over the entire world map.

The orthographic azimuthal projection is a perspective projection from infinite distance. It was already known to the Egyptians and Greeks more than 2,000 years ago. It gives the appearance of the Earth viewed from outer space. Only one hemisphere can be viewed at a time. The globe centered on Ural'skaya appears more realistic than almost any other projection.
