I have just been told I would be getting a couple of days off at work (think one three-day weekend and one four-day weekend coinciding with the BH Monday) as it is quite a slow time of the year for us.
My husband and I always book holidays in advance so we are pretty new to booking last-minute holidays. I have tried to look up some old threads but I have mostly found threads involving 'proper holidays' (one week, all inclusive,etc) but I was wondering if anyone would have more advice regarding shorter breaks, for e.g.
- We would not necessarily be looking at a whole package, but perhaps a couple of cheap flights. We would look for accommodation/hotel separately.
- If in the UK, we would not be looking at flights but simply a couple of nights in a hotel.
You'd think airlines/hotels would be keen to fill the last remaining seats or rooms? I am conscious this may take us to less popular areas but this is totally fine. We just want a change of scenery!
Are there any websites we could find some good deals on for these? I once overheard people about to board an Easyjet flight that were saying they'd managed to get cheap tickets for the flight the day before. I would not know where to find those! Would websites like Expedia, Trivago,etc offer good deals? I never seem to be able to find anything that good!
We are not fussed about the destination. It could be city/nature/North or East of Europe/UK,etc, and we would be happy to book everything literally the day before if this helps.
