What are Last Minute Flights?

Last-minute flights are flights that are booked close to the flight departure date. A last-minute flight is usually booked a couple of days or weeks before the actual flight departure time and date, however, last-minute flights can also be purchased a day before or on the same day of departure. Last-minute flights are commonly purchased by travellers who have an urgent need to travel but can also be purchased by travellers looking for a last-minute bargain. These flights can often be cheap when airlines need to fill empty seats on the aircraft but they can also be expensive as airlines know that those who need to travel urgently are willing to pay more to fly.

Alternative Airlines aims to send e-tickets immediately after booking or within 2 hours via e-mail. Please note that when booking last-minute flights - it may take up to 24 hours for you to receive your e-ticket via email.

Tips

To make your search for last-minute flights easier, take a look at our tips below! We advise considering the destinations you're open to flying to, the dates that you can fly and also the time of the actual flight.

Flexible Destinations

When searching for last-minute flights we advise that you're open-minded about the destination that you travel to. By being flexible with the country you visit you can find some hidden gems at low prices. Instead of splashing the cash on a trip to Hawaii, why not visit the beautiful island of Madeira?

Flexible Dates

Do you have some space in your diary for a last-minute trip? If so, why not book a last-minute flight today and be packing your bags for a spontaneous flight tomorrow? Use our Best Fare Finder tool when booking flights to search for the cheapest days to travel.

Night Flights

A top tip when booking last-minute flights is to buy flights that depart late in the afternoon. Afternoon/evening flights tend to be cheaper than morning flights as it's usually less busy. If your travelling for business purposes we recommend that you look at red-eye flights. These flights depart late at night and arrive early morning the following day so you won't miss a working day.
