Last minute holidays are often the cause of a lot of confusion as they have had bad press over the past few years.

Today however things have really changed in the holiday industry and there are many fantastic last minute deals that you can book onto. Here are a few things you should know about taking them. You can get a deal at the last minute from different places.

You can also use the web to book last minute holidays and often this can give you a better choice, but you must be prepared for some of these to be really last minute. Or if you are really looking for a really last minute holiday pack a suitcase and head to the airport and see if there are any cancellations which you can book onto. Sometimes a last minute holiday might leave within a day of being published, so you need to be prepared for a last minute set off.

If you are planning on going with a group of people you can pick up some great last minute offers in self catering accommodation for groups, so don't rule this out when you are choosing your holiday. Another way to spend last minute holidays is to head out to cities and towns during festivals and holidays.
