Last minute holiday pros and cons
-
Are you a traveler who never has any idea when to leave, or do you like the idea of never knowing where you'll be?
Do you like to aim for savings by booking even just 24 hours before your holiday?
Well, in any case, probably more than once you've relied on the last minute offers that many times the operators of the tourism industry put in place (because it is always better to sell, not sell at all) during the holiday periods.
Today, then, we will go to address the PRO and CONTRO of the increasingly popular last-minute offers ....
PRO
Uncognised destination: last minute offers are always varied and continuous; you could find your discounted holiday in America, Australia, Brazil, Lido of Nations ........ in short, the whole world, just have a little 'luck (and even desire for adventure);
You don't have to plan anything: if your job is unpredictable and you don't know when and for how long you will be on holiday, the last minute offers will meet you; you don't have to plan anything, without too many thoughts in your head!
Potential savings: savings are usually considerable, the more you book near the departure date; the locations are those that are more affected by the change in price because tenants prefer to fill as much as possible their accommodations, sometimes even applying strong discounts (unlike airline tickets where the more you search for the ticket near the departure date, the more it costs).
COUNTER
Weather: check before leaving what the weather forecasts indicate, especially if that very discounted price at which you were curious does not refer to the rainy season (this mainly in exotic places or otherwise subject to customary periods of the kind);
Wait: you will have to be very careful with last minute bookings because there is always the risk of not being able to go anywhere, this is because if you are interested too much in a given offer and you wait hoping it will be depreciated more and more .... well they could fool you and for you no holiday!
Limited choice: booking in advance you have certainly, except in particular cases, much wider choice of flights, hotels, apartments etc ... so, if you have in mind a destination or a specific hotel, you may be disappointed by the inability to book neither one nor the other.
HOW TO FIND LAST MINUTE OFFERS
There is no specific methodology on how to find last minute deals at bargain prices.
Using the Internet extensively by frequently consulting various travel sites can increase your chances of finding new deals. Being willing to travel at awkward times or on awkward days helps you to find interesting offers (e.g. flying at night or on holiday days such as Christmas Day can save you a lot of money).
Always know that it is much easier to find offers for one / two people instead of a larger number of people, so do not rely on this methodology for group travel.
Often consult the social pages of the various companies or your favorite airport, can help you find the offer that suits you precisely because they are constantly updated.
Mobile apps can be very useful to travel especially for the search for accommodation.
