Hi All

Wanted some advice whether it is likely i'll be able to find a last minute deal to Paris preferably or elsewhere in Europe and if anyone has any tips on good sites where i might find such a deal.

Thanks in advance

    How last minute do you mean? If you want to travel this week, transport may be your issue, not that there isn't any but both Eurostar and the airlines will bleed you dry. Accommodation costs don't change whether you book in advance or at the last minute and so long as you don't want to travel at school half term you shouldn't have any problem finding accommodation. Where are you travelling from is probably the most important question that we need an answer to before can offer any help.

    The problem is the trains, all fares are £154.50 outbound on Friday and all but two in the morning on Sunday are the same price, so over £300 just for the train! You can get accommodation for 100 euros a night for a single room, making an assumption from your name but if you are already in the market, a double will in most cases cost the same or only a little more. BA does have cheaper flights, from £182 return from Heathrow but to get that fare you have to come back at the crack of dawn on Sunday, later flights are £270 plus.
