What are Last Minute Flights?

Last minute flights are commercial flights that are purchased close to the departure date and time of the flight. Flights need to be booked a few days or weeks before departure to be considered 'last minute' - this includes flights booked on the same day as departure. Last minute flights are often used by those who need to travel for emergency circumstances, business travellers or holiday-goers who want to book spontaneous trips abroad. These types of flights can sometimes be cheap if airlines need to fill up empty seats on the plane quickly, but can also be very expensive where some airlines will take advantage of travellers who are willing to pay more if they desperately need to travel for emergency purposes.

Last Minute Flights Tips

Here at Alternative Airlines, we've got a few tips and tricks to finding the best last minute flight with any airline of your choice, even with Sun Country! Things to bear in mind include the destinations you're open to flying to, the dates you can travel and also the time of your flight.


Flexible Destinations

If you're itching for a break but not sure where to fly to, this can work in your favour when finding cheap last minute flights with Sun Country. When you don't have a particular destination in mind, you can be as flexible as possible - why not have a quick break to explore New York or Los Angeles, or even venture down to Miami or Orlando for the weekend?


Flexible Dates

Having space on your calendar for a spontaneous trip definitely helps when trying to find last minute Sun Country flights with cheap prices. Airlines sometimes reduce the prices of their tickets at the very last minute in order to quickly fill up empty seats on the plane - this is not always the case but it's a great time to book flights to random destinations if you have time to spare.


Night Flights

Red eye flights (or overnight flights) are perfect if you're making a last minute booking - they're less popular than daytime flights due to passengers often feeling exhausted and getting red eyes from travelling late at night or early in the morning. This means they can be cheaper than daytime flights and are perfect if you need to travel for an emergency or for leisure. Read our Sun Country red eye flights guide to find out more.
