Last Minute Travel - Get the best deal.
Last minute Travel – One of the two ways of making
a great deal. The other way is when you purchase a
ticket well in advance.
- The second tactic is easy. Find out where you want to go and
make your reservations early.
Check out Airline
Flights - Find Cheap Tickets Faster.
Check out Great
Hotel Prices - Spend Less, Get More.
- The first method takes a little more work and luck to get the
last minute deals. The keys are information and flexibility. If you
can walk away from the deal, you can pick a deal… It just takes
a little more planning.
To get last minute travel reservations for a hotel, call the
front desk at the hotel itself.
When you ask the clerk for a reservation, be sure to ask, "Are
there any discounts I can get?" You'll be surprised at what they
can offer you.
Do not call the 800-###-#### number for the hotel chain. They
can't give you any great last minute deals.
Remember, an empty hotel room is one that doesn't create
revenue. So a discount of 20% is better than
nothing.
