Last minute holidays
I'm hoping to get away for a week either next Saturday or the following Monday. The thing is, I don't get paid til Friday so it really will be 'last minute'
Where do you book your last minute holidays? I've tried Teletext Holidays, Lastminute.com, Ice Lolly, On the Beach and seen a few of interest.
TIA

Re: Last minute holidays
I would say, book the flight, then go on sites like Holiday_rentals.co.uk, loads and loads of apartments all over the world on sites like that.
Negogiate a price, also worth being cheeky!!

Thanks Lucy, but we're going all inclusive. Besides, from what i've seen you can't get flights alone for the prices of some holidays on the net
But I shall continue my quest

Ticket on departure charges are just hurrendous! Most with lastminute.com are £40 per person, which in effect makes a holiday approximately the same price as I'd have paid had I booked it a year ago
The whole idea is, I go late - i pay less  (oh and the fact i haven't had the $ til now was also a major factor!)
