Last Minute Flights from the UK

What is a last minute flight?

A last minute flight ticket is a ticket that you book shortly before departure. This can be two weeks, a few days, or even a day. The idea is that you can go on holiday shortly afterwards, whether to the Baltic Sea or to Dubai. For some destinations, last minute flight tickets can be cheaper than tickets booked well in advance of departure. One of the challenges is finding them and making a quick decision. Often, super last minute offers are exactly what you were looking for! Discover our last minute cheap flights from London, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham Edinburgh, and many more.

How do last minute flights work?

How does it work? Airlines often sell seats on flights that are not fully booked until shortly before the flight as last minute flights. This means that the tickets should be sold at the last minute, so to speak. The prices for last minute flights are sometimes well below the regular transport fee. In this way, the airlines try to increase the utilization of their machines, from British Airways, Ryanair, Easyjet to Eurowings and more. This gives passengers the opportunity to benefit from low tariffs shortly before departure.

• Leave or land at another airport. Use the Alternate Airports tab in the search results to view other options. This often increases the availability of airline tickets, especially if you are flying at the last minute.

Can I also book a hotel last minute?

Of course, you can also book a hotel with your last minute flight ticket. Click on Flight + Hotel / Car in the search field to compare flight tickets and book a hotel (and / or a rental car). Please note: The availability of accommodation is often less than that of flight tickets. It is therefore possible that there are no more rooms available in the hotel you have requested. However, there can always be last minute cancellations which result in rooms becoming available again.
