Which are the best sites for really last minute flights? i.e. next weekend?

Hi,

is there any chance of getting last minute deals anywhere for flights for this weekend, possibly fri morn- sat night?

i'm not sure if this is possible, or if prices actually sky rocket that close?- not having much luck with lastminute.com

also since it's the weekend i'm expecting it to be pricey

willing to go anywhere interesting for one night with a fairly short flight?

open to any and all ideas!

thanks so much in advance

    all flights for one night are gonna be with low cost carriers so the closer you get to dep date the higher the fares

  • Thanks del,

    i've just read that remaining seats on charter flights will be the cheapest? do you agree?

    if so would that have to be 7 days apart? i could push to two days away if that would suit?

    your not likely to get 2 days with charter especially not is Sept

    You could try the likes of

    www.thomsonfly.co.uk

    www.flythomascook.com

    www.monarch.co.uk

    or

    www.skyscanner.net

    just put the airport you wish to fly from and leave the destination blank, obviously put the outbound and inbound dates
