Holiday Secrets: Is Last Minute Best?

I did watch it. So many questions that need answering. Why do people pay so much for their holidays. I have three or four a year and none of mine cost that amount. Who would want to keep changing rooms, I have changed villas after a week but three different rooms in a week is madness. Glad your advice helped but the presenter missed on the cheaper flights. Maybe you would have done a better job overall, I wouldn’t trust her to book my holiday.

I’d love to watch it but i currently don’t have the time can you please tell us which is cheaper. I went on 5 holidays abroad last year some was booked the week before and some was booked a few months in advance but it didn’t really make a difference to price. I found the time of year you are booking for it can be dearer. but when booking in advance or waiting till last min not much changed

Haven't watched it but I track holiday prices all the time before booking - and there is no rhyme nor reason to the way prices move . Looked at hotel prices (through their websites ) ,seats remaining on aircraft, time till departure date etc ,etc .

My only conclusions - it rarely gets cheaper in the last month - seems that Travel companies (or their algorithms ) would rather take a hit on unsold seats/hotel rooms/holidays than sell them off cheap at the minute . I've followed holidays down to the night before and if anything they are dearer than 4 weeks before , and certainly never cheaper .

My advice - follow a few holidays -Daily - for a few weeks , they will change by up to 10% ! Up or Down -then pick one when the price is relatively good 30 -35 days before departure. .

Doing it that way I've never had an amazing bargain , but then again I've never overpaid . Sadly the days of turning up at the airport and picking up a cheap holiday to Benidorm are in the past .

Thanks for letting us know. Will have to watch via on demand when I get a chance. I always prefer last minute deals myself, but as I’m flexible, it always works out well for me
