Generally speaking, the cheapest seasons tend to be May to June and October to November, but there are still plenty of great late holiday deals available throughout the year.  The lates holiday season is classed as any holiday that departs 8 weeks from your booking date.  So you don’t necessarily have to travel at very short notice to find a late holiday bargain.

The key to late holiday deals is flexibility.  Be as flexible as possible with dates, destination and accommodation.  If you can, try to avoid flying over the weekend, or during the school holidays which tend to be very popular.  Think outside the box; do you really want a 7 night holiday, or could you stay for 6, 8 or 9 nights?  You may even find that a 9 night holiday is cheaper than 7 nights!   Likewise, be flexible as possible with your flights.   Could you fly out from a regional airport that you haven’t considered before?   Would you mind taking a night flight or a non-direct flight?   All these factors will help you to secure a fantastic late holiday deal.

Popular last-minute holiday destinations include The Canaries, The Balearics and holidays to Egypt, where warm weather is virtually guaranteed all year round.  If you don’t have a specific destination in mind then this could well work in your favour. Booking at the last minute is a fantastic way of picking up a bargain to a holiday destination that you’ve always dreamed of, but seemed too expensive. 

If you want to escape somewhere at very short notice, then why not consider a UK break?   The Co-operative Travel has a fantastic range of deals on luxury hotels, family hotels, spa breaks and theatre breaks across the country.

With such a wide range of bargain holiday deals around, leaving your holiday booking until the last-minute could be the best decision you’ve ever made.
