Absoutely last minute flights?

lynzpower

hi all

I remember using a company callsd "lastcallflights" over the years however they seem no longer to be going.

they used to have a "dont care where you go" style thing where youd put in a date, and it gave you all the charters going, and you could restrict by airport and destination but it was broad, like carribbean/ greece& turkey/ spain & balreics etc they had no flights over a week in advance. And had loads of "next day/2 days " options which as a solo traveller I made the most of :beer:

Now Im out of debt :rolleyes: and finally paid off some of my old jaunts, Im keen to get away- are there any other websites that we know of that have this functionality or is it a case of calling coop/thompson/ first choice etc in turn and trying them all for next day departureS?

Its a shame there is no singles companies that do this kind of thing.

I have a partner, just that ive hassled her for the past 9 months to get a passport, and she has done nothing. This really annoys me as we / she lives not far from hull, therefore a cheap cruise into europe is managable with the tent..

I think i need to team up with someone and go on holiday....

Im not single

Just book a flight and go. If your OH canyt be bothered to venture, then go see whats out there yourself. Grab a cheap flight and go go go

you could try the flgiht search on this http://tawl.holiday.co.uk/(n1kjyk45g2vaee55irvbuv45)/hp/default.aspx?WebsiteGUID=cd695736-475d-4779-8f54-2ea6d62a6cd4&QID=62389&V=2.0.0.4 it allows you to put any destination from any airport and make the date search as little as 1 day

such as tomorrow there is a flight to Naples with mytravel for £43 (before all the extras)

NAPLES(NAP) on Fri, 20 April 2007 for 7 nights. Departing : MANCHESTER (MAN) - prices correct as of Thu, 19 April 2007 at 03:19 Flight Only Fly Drive
£43

Even the package holiday part is good to give you an idea of whats about but its often cheaper to go direct to the company's web site when you spot something because you can take off the extras you dont want. Its just a good hunting tool


or use skyscanner

melancholly

https://www.icelolly.com is an option (haven't used it myself but was recommended it by a friend)

lynzpower

thanks a lot melancholly, thats exacly what ive been looking for- you dont have to choose your destination , you can choose "all destinations"

any more for any more?

I have always thought ice lolly were quite expensive once you added on all taxes and supplements.
For example just checked to see how much a flight to Monastir in Tunisia would be from Newcastle on the 22nd Apr for a week for 2 adults.

£338 through Icelolly but only £158 on the Thomson website.

That is the company i got the quote from to Tunisia via Icelolly(as above) @£180 more than Thomson.

Given what you said the other day saveapenny, when I find a cheap flight, Ill alsways look for thompson first, as they have included taxes etc.

https://www.airflights.co.uk is similar as well, I tend to use them as a guide then go check the operators websites themselves (of course see if there are any discount codes - e.g. xl.com) before booking.
