How do I find a Last Minute Deal? Can you help me navigate?

From the Last Minute Deals page, follow these five steps:

  • CHOOSE your departure city and preferred dates of travel.
  • LOOK at the variety of packages available for your dates.
  • FIND the experience that interests you most.
  • ENHANCE the experience to make it exactly what you want, from your accommodations to any optional extras you'd like to add, and GO!

If you are looking for a specific destination or activity, it's also easy to use the search box located in the upper right corner of the homepage. Simply type in your search criteria, click go, and you'll get a list of available packages that include your search term(s).

Availability changes all the time, so if you don't see what you're looking for right away, check back again later and you may find it!

Return To top

When will you originate from my city?

We launch service from new cities on a continuing basis. As of July 2003, we serve 76 markets in North America. We appreciate your patience as we finalize the details. Check back with us soon!

Return To top

Will you have the same great deal next month that you have today?

We work closely with our partner travel providers to offer customers the best trips at the last minute. Since we work with last minute inventory, we do not know what packages will be available more than 14 days in advance. And as soon as we know, you know. Our dynamic technology constantly queries reservations systems to find what's available right now at the best prices.

Due to the dynamic nature of our offerings, we cannot predict or guarantee the future availability of any of our packages.

If a package is listed on the site now, it's available, but we do not know if or when the same package will be offered again.

Return To top

Can I buy a package more than 14 days in advance?

Since we offer last minute inventory, we do not know what our offerings will be more than 14 days in advance. And as soon as we know, you know. Our dynamic technology constantly queries reservations systems to find what's available right now at the best prices.

Return To top

How late can I buy a package?

We sell packages for domestic (US) destinations up to three hours before the flight departs and for international destinations up to five hours before--for the truly last minute customer!

Return To top

Can you hold a package for me?

Our great deals sell out fast, so we do not hold packages for customers. Because availability changes all the time, we recommend that you buy a package as soon as possible after choosing it.

Return To top

Do you reserve any inventory that is not listed on the site?

No, everything we offer is shown on the site. We do not have any special reserved packages or inventory. Due to the last minute nature of our inventory, our packages can sell out at any time and availability is limited. So if you see a package you like, we suggest you buy it right away. It may be gone when you next log on!

Return To top

Do you offer a specific destination or a specific activity?

If you have a specific activity in mind (such as golf, tennis etc.), the best way to find your package is to use the keyword search. Simply type in your keyword, click go and you will be offered a list of available packages.

Return To top

If you know where you want to go, use the Destination Search. Simply select your departure city, destination state (or international) and city and we'll show you all the available packages that fit your search criteria.

I know where I want to go. How do I find out if you have my destination?

Destination Search makes finding your perfect getaway easier than ever! If you already know where you want to go, simply find the Search by Destination box at the top of the homepage, choose your departure city, your destination state (or international), and destination city and GO! We'll show you all the available packages that fit your search criteria.

Remember, availability changes all the time, so if you don't see your city, check back again later and you may find it!

Return To top

Can I take a longer trip or do you just offer weekend travel?

We currently specialize in weekend getaways and longer weekend trips. Thus, our arrangements with our air travel providers are structured in such a way that the earliest we depart in the week is Thursday, and the latest we return in the week is Tuesday with a mandatory Saturday night stay. We are growing rapidly though, and we're planning to extend to longer trips in the future.

Return To top

Can I take a trip mid-week?

The arrangements we have with our air travel providers are structured in such a way that the earliest we depart in the week is usually Thursday, and the latest we return in the week is normally Tuesday with a mandatory Saturday night stay. However, we do offer mid-week departures and returns for travel to Las Vegas, as well as Wednesday departures from select cities to Hawaii. Mid-week travel may be an option to and from other destinations in the future, so keep checking back.

Return To top

What types of packages can I find on your site?

Flight & Hotel: This package includes your flight, your hotel accommodations for the duration of your stay and often some additional options to add-on if you would like.

Flight plus: This package includes your flight, PLUS one other component that is NOT a hotel room, such as car rental, pre-paid dinner, hot-air balloon ride, etc. This package type is intended for use when you already have a place to stay in your destination.

Hotel plus: This package includes your hotel PLUS one other component that is NOT a flight, such as car rental, pre-paid dinner, etc. This package type is intended for when you already have transportation to your destination.

Return To top

Do you only sell packages?

Last Minute Deals are packages only. Packages consist of two or more components. Last Minute Deals do not include individual tickets for airline travel or reservations for hotel rooms.

Return To top

What characterizes a luxury getaway?

Our luxury properties are characterized by their commitment to excellence in design, decor, service, and overall customer experience. These range from world-class properties with exceptional service, hospitality, and attention to detail to one-of-a-kind boutique hotels featuring unparalleled design and style.

Return To top

Do you sell last minute cruises?

We currently do not sell cruise packages, but we are looking into cruises for future expansion.

Return To top

Are your air and hotel packages "All-Inclusive"?

We do have some All-Inclusive hotel properties available. If you choose an All-Inclusive hotel property, meals and most drinks will normally be included in your total cost. Please read the hotel information very carefully to determine the details of what is included in an All-Inclusive hotel property. All-Inclusive package prices are based upon double occupancy (two people per room). There is a supplemental per person charge for each additional guest that is not included in the price of this package. The supplement must be paid upon checkout from the hotel. Please contact the hotel directly for the amount of this charge.

Return To top

How can I be sure I'm getting a good deal?

We negotiate with our partners to bring you the best prices available for last minute travel. Finding a better price on a comparable trip at the last minute for the same dates is next to impossible! And when you consider that we've handled all the arrangements with our top-tier partner airlines, hotels and other travel partners, you'll find that our packages are an unbeatable deal.

Return To top

Is there an additional charge for single travelers? Can I take a trip by myself?

Although we list our prices per person based on double occupancy, you can travel by yourself. After you have chosen a package, you will have the option to enter the number of people traveling. Simply choose one adult when prompted for the number of people and advance to the next page.

Traveling by yourself with some of our packages will increase the price per person, however, because you will need to pay for the entire hotel room (or rental car) instead of sharing the cost with another person. The initial prices quoted on the site are per person, based on double occupancy.

Return To top

Do you have special prices for children or senior citizens?

No, our prices are the lowest around for last minute travel, so we do not offer any discounts for children or senior citizens.

Return To top

How do you price for infants traveling without their own airline seats?

If you choose infants (under 2) traveling without airline seats, we assume the child will be sitting on a parent's lap during flight. Your final price per person will not reflect any charges for a child seated on a parent's lap. Please contact Customer Service after your purchase, so that we may enter your infant's information into your reservation. If you would like a seat for the child, please choose "infants (under 2) with airline seat." Charges will apply.

If you are traveling internationally with an infant, please contact the airline directly upon booking your getaway. The airline may assess additional charges, and documentation such as birth certificate may be required.

Return To top

Why should I add optional recommendations to my package online instead of waiting until I get there to book them?

In addition to saving you money, we like to save you time. We understand that when you're booking a getaway at the last minute, it's not always easy to make plans to enjoy while on your getaway. Since we negotiate great deals through partnerships with various travel and entertainment providers, we make activities, meals and other events easy to reserve. We never sell experiences for more than the retail price and it is unlikely that you would get a better deal from these providers on your own.

Return To top

Do you offer bereavement fares?

Our prices are the lowest around for last minute travel. We do not offer bereavement fares.

Return To top

Is the entire cost of my hotel room(s) included in the package price?

Your package purchase includes your room rate and applicable taxes for domestic (US) travel. If you are traveling to Canada or Mexico, you may be charged a local "Hotel Occupancy Tax" upon checkout. If your package includes a hotel stay in Europe, you will be assessed value added taxes (VAT) upon checkout. These are the same taxes that would be assessed if you reserved your accommodations through a travel agent or with the hotel directly. The package price does not include incidentals you may incur such as extra-person charges, extra-bed charges, resort fees, gratuities, energy surcharges, parking fees, telephone fees, room service, movies and mini-bar. Extra-person or extra-bed charges may apply if you reserve one hotel room for more than two people (including children). Please contact the hotel directly if you would like more information about possible extra-person charges.

Return To top

Is the entire cost of car rental included in the package price?

Our car rental packages include the rental rate and taxes. Except as specifically noted as included in the rate, items such as surcharges (such as frequent flyer tax recovery, airport concession fees, special assessments, age, registration and license reimbursement fees, etc.), optional coverages (such as LDW, PAI, LIS, ALI, PEC, and PEP), fuel service, additional driver, drop-off, and other charges are NOT included and must be paid for directly to the rental car company. Gasoline, upgrades from your reserved car type, or additional equipment (such as child seats or ski racks) are NOT included.

Return To top

Will there be any extra fees or costs charged for my travel package??

Like our prices? You'll like them even more when you buy your package because the price you see up front is the price you pay! Our package prices now include all applicable taxes and fees.

The only price changes you may experience will be from options that you decide to change, such as your travel dates, number of travelers, departure city, and your choice of flight, hotels or other items. Rest assured that the total price of your travel package will be updated and displayed to you prior to purchase, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we ask for any billing information.

Also, remember that you may incur other charges while traveling, such as hotel extra-person or extra-bed charges, resort fees, gratuities, hotel energy surcharges, parking fees, telephone fees, room service, movies, mini-bar, or rental car insurance, gasoline, and other incidentals, that are not included in the package price.

Return To top

How do I get started buying a package?

Now you can browse Last Minute Deals either by date or by destination. If you're searching by date, use the Search by Date box to choose your departure city and the dates you wish to travel. If you're looking for a specific destination, use the Search by Destination box to choose your departure city, your destination state (or international), and destination city.

The site will return a list of available packages that fit your search criteria. Find your package, choose your components, and go!

Return To top

Do I have to buy online?

Yes. Last Minute Deals are only available for online purchase.

Return To top

Do I need to register in order to buy a package?

No, but in order to buy something, you will need to enter your credit card and billing information so we can process your order. All purchases need to be made on line, but if you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Customer Service.

Return To top

I'm experiencing technical difficulties. What do I do?

If you experience any technical difficulties, please contact Customer Service right away and a representative will assist you with your purchase.

Return To top

What credit cards do you accept?

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Diner's Club.

If you would like to use a debit card, please be aware that most debit cards have daily limits of $500.

If your package exceeds $500, please call your bank and request that they release the funds before attempting the transaction.

Return To top

I haven't received my confirmation email yet.

If you have not received your confirmation email, we are still processing your order and confirming your bookings with our partners. Please be patient. We will send it to you shortly.

Return To top

Why are the taxes so high? What are the taxes for? (Why are there taxes included in the price and what are they for?)

Federal, state and local governments assess a variety of taxes and fees in association with traveling and transportation. For example, U.S. airports charge airlines a Passenger Facilities Charge or PFC for every passenger on arriving and departing flights to cover airport costs. Airlines, in turn, pass that fee on to us and we pass it on to you. If you buy a flight from the airline directly, they would pass this nominal charge directly to you.

Because state and local governments have the ability to set their own tax rates, we are unable to give you all the potential rates.

Return To top

Can I use vouchers or points to purchase a package?

At this time, the only forms of payment we accept for our packages are credit cards and debit cards. We do not accept vouchers, points, unused airline tickets or frequent flier miles as payment. However, all of our reservations are eligible for frequent flier credit. We recommend that you submit your account number to the airline during check-in so that your miles will be credited. Our reservations are currently not eligible for points credit from hotels.

Return To top

Can I buy a one-way ticket?

All of our packages that have flights include roundtrip airfare. We do not sell one-way tickets. However, we often hear the comment that many of our bundled packages with roundtrip airfare are better value than airfare alone!

Return To top

Can I purchase a Gift Certificate?

No. Unfortunately, we do not offer Gift Certificates at this time.

Return To top

Can I use more than one credit card to purchase a package?

At this time, our technology requires that package payments are made with one credit or debit card.

Return To top

Can I purchase travel for someone else?

You may purchase a travel package for someone other than yourself. When purchasing a last minute travel package, you will notice separate fields for the names(s) of the travelers and the credit card billing information. If you are purchasing for another person, please insure that the names of the travelers match their government-issued photo identification in order to avoid problems with check-in or airport security.

Return To top

How will the increased security measures at airports affect my getaway?

Your airline tickets will be issued as E-tickets. Due to heightened FAA security requirements, only ticketed airline passengers will be allowed to proceed through security checkpoints. As an E-ticket holder, you may need to check in at a ticket counter or present the appropriate documentation in order to proceed through security. Individual airlines will determine which documentation (i.e. paper tickets, boarding passes, or reservation confirmations) will be allowed. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you bring your confirmation email with you to the airport.

Other increased security measures at the airports might include:

  • No parking or waiting at curbs.
  • Passengers must carry government-issued photo ID such as driver's license or passport.
  • Passengers will be allowed only one carry-on plus one personal item (such as purse or laptop).
  • All carry-on baggage will be subject to extensive search.
  • No knives of any kind or similar sharp instruments will be allowed on airplanes.

Return To top

How will I receive my airline tickets and hotel reservations?

All packages are available for online booking, and all travel is "paperless." Airline tickets are issued as E-tickets, thus you simply need to present your ID and airline confirmation number at the airport to obtain your boarding pass. Hotels and other partners are notified by us and given your reservation information.

To be sure you have all the necessary information to make your Last Minute Deal as enjoyable as possible, we suggest you print your confirmation and itinerary email and bring it with you when traveling.

Return To top

What do I need to bring with me?

It is necessary to carry a valid, government-issued photo ID with you during your getaway. This ID should be a driver's license and major credit (NOT debit) card if you are renting a car as part of your last minute travel experience, and a passport if you are traveling internationally. Please be aware that documentation requirements vary depending upon the country you plan to visit and your immigration status in the United States. For the most detailed up to date information on overseas travel, visit www.state.gov/travel for the latest travel advisories.If you are not a U.S. citizen, please contact the embassy of the country to which you are traveling to determine your visa/ entry requirements.We strongly recommend that you bring your confirmation email with you, especially if your package includes air travel. Heightened FAA security may require you to show your confirmation email as proof that you are a ticket-holder.

Return To top

Can I buy just an airline ticket or just a hotel room?

We sell packages, which allows us to offer excellent value to our customers. In fact, we often hear the comment that many of our bundled packages are better value than airfare alone!

All of our offerings are composed of at least two components from the following list: flights, hotel accommodations, rental car and entertainment options such as walking tours, ski passes, pre-paid meals, balloon rides and more. In addition to our Flight & Hotel packages, we also offer a variety of other package combinations, such as Flightplus and Hotelplus.

Return To top

How many people can I book per hotel room?

Accommodating more than two persons (including children) in one hotel room may result in extra-person charges upon checkout from your hotel. Please contact the hotel directly if you would like to inquire about extra-person charges. Our pricing is based on double occupancy.

Return To top

Do I need travel insurance for short weekend getaways?

Travel insurance is always a good idea just in case you cannot go for some unforeseen reason.

Return To top

Are there any specific rules or age requirements to renting a car?

Most rental car companies require that renters be at least 25 years of age and have a valid driver's license and major credit card. If you're booking a rental car with us, check the terms of service listed on the rental car page before booking, and if you have further questions, please call the rental car company directly for their policies.

Also, please note: Insurance, gas, upgrades and charges other than the base price of the car plus tax are not included in the price of the package, and must be paid for at the counter.

Return To top

What should I know before buying a package to an international destination?

All packages for international destinations have a Before You Go section, which includes such information as entry requirements, currency and local transportation. Be sure to read this information carefully before buying an international package, and please keep in mind that international travel generally requires that you have a valid passport. If you are traveling internationally with an infant, please contact the airline directly upon booking your getaway. Some airlines may assess additional charges and may require documentation such as a birth certificate.

Return To top

Why are there no other flight times available?

Our dynamic technology allows us to show you the best deals available right now for the travel dates or destination that you have selected. Flight availability changes all the time, so it is possible that if you check back later, new flights will appear. It is also possible, however, that our availability will drop off, so flight times you previously viewed may no longer be listed. If you see a package you want, it is best to buy it immediately as last minute availability is limited.

Return To top

Is the entire cost of my hotel room(s) included in the package price?

Your package purchase includes your room rate and applicable taxes for domestic (US) travel. If you are traveling to Canada or Mexico, you may be charged a local "Hotel Occupancy Tax" upon checkout. If your package includes a hotel stay in Europe, you will be assessed value added taxes (VAT) upon checkout. These are the same taxes that would be assessed if you reserved your accommodations through a travel agent or with the hotel directly.

Extra-person or extra-bed charges may apply if you reserve one hotel room for more than two people (including children). Please contact the hotel directly if you would like more information about possible extra-person charges.

Return To top

What is the quality of the hotels included in the packages?

We have partnered with the leaders in the travel industry including Sheraton, Westin, Hyatt, Inter-Continental, and Holiday Inn hotels. In order to provide a range of package types and prices, many of our packages offer you a choice of which hotel you would like. We provide full details of each property and you will always know what hotel you will be booked in before you complete your purchase.

Return To top

Will I be charged additional hotel taxes?

If your package includes only domestic (US) travel, all taxes are included in your final package price. If you travel to Canada or Mexico, you may be charged a local "Hotel Occupancy Tax" upon checkout. If your package includes a hotel stay in Europe, you will be assessed value added taxes (VAT) upon checkout. These are the same taxes that would be assessed if you reserved your accommodations through a travel agent or with the hotel directly.

Return To top

Will my hotel room be like the one shown in the pictures?

The pictures we display in the hotel details are a representation of the room possibilities at each hotel. You may not be booked in a room just like the one in the pictures.

Return To top

Will I be subject to additional security checks?

As an E-ticket holder, you will need to check in at a ticket counter and present the appropriate documentation in order to proceed through security. Please be aware that you and your bags will receive extra attention and scrutiny from security due to the last minute nature of your purchase.

Return To top

Can I use points or redeem airline miles to purchase a package?

At this time, the only forms of payment we accept for our packages are major credit cards and debit cards with a Visa or MasterCard logo. We do not accept vouchers, points, unused airline tickets or frequent flier miles as payment. However, all of our packages are eligible for frequent flier mile credit. We recommend that you submit your account number to the airline during check-in so that your miles will be credited to your account. Our reservations are currently not eligible for points credit from hotels.

Return To top

Can I book a package for two people departing from different cities (and meeting at our destination)?

Currently, our technology does not allow the purchase of a package for travelers who have different origination cities, so the best way for two people to travel from two different cities to the same destination is to look for two different types of packages- one package for each traveler.

The first package is a flight & hotel package, which the first of the two travelers would purchase as a solo traveler. The full cost of the hotel room will appear in this package.

The second package, purchased by the second traveler, is a flight plus package, such as our Fly & Drive option, which includes a flight and rental car. This second package does not include hotel, but would include the full price of the car.

Both travelers together will pay no more this way than if they bought one package that included the flight for two, the hotel room and the car, though distribution of this cost may not be even. We leave the fair division of your travel costs up to you.

Return To top

Do you offer any packages geared to specific communities or demographics?

Our packages are often written with a theme, event or mood in mind and recommendations and suggestions are added accordingly. We offer a few packages each week that include suggestions of particular interest to gay travelers, and sometimes we may suggest events or activities that have ethnic, regional or religious appeal.

We intend our suggestions to add value to our offerings and allow you to enjoy the perks of planning at the last minute. We usually offer a variety of packages to the same destination with the intention that one will appeal to you. If you want to travel to a specific destination but the suggestions don't appeal to you, there is no need to take advantage of them.

Enjoyment of our last minute travel experiences is not dependent on demographics such as race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.

Return To top

Can I upgrade my flight, hotel or car reservations, or make other special requests for my package?

All available upgrade options are disclosed during your selection process. When available, there will be opportunity to select your hotel room or upgrade your rental car. Due the last minute nature of our packages, it is not possible to choose your airline seat during online booking.

Once your package has been purchased, we cannot change any details of your itinerary.

Return To top

Can I request a specific airline seat?

Due to the last minute nature of our packages, we do not assign specific airline seats.

Return To top

Can I request a meal on the flight?

Due to the last minute nature of our packages, we do not handle special requests.

Return To top

Can you send me an itemized receipt that breaks down the individual cost of air, hotel, or rental car?

We are happy to resend you a copy of your confirmation email. However, we are unable to provide you with individual receipts for air, hotel or car inventory. We sell bundled packages and our relationships with our suppliers prevent us from disclosing individual prices.

Return To top

What is your cancellation, refund or change policy?

All purchases are final. In order for us to bring you continued value on last minute travel through our national and regional partners, we cannot provide refunds or exchanges. We cannot change dates or times of travel, hotel choice or names of travelers after a package is purchased.

Return To top

Can I change the dates or times of my travel?

Since we sell only what's available, we can only guarantee reservations included in your package at the time of purchase.

Return To top

What happens if a flight or trip is canceled?

As with any trip, call ahead to verify your departure time and reservation. Our offers are guaranteed available, but airlines do overbook, and anything's possible in the world of travel. Please reconfirm where possible. If your flight is canceled by the airline due to weather, mechanical difficulties, overbooking, etc., the airline is responsible for ensuring that you are booked on the next available flight to your destination. We cannot re-book you on another flight.

Return To top

Can I make special requests or changes after booking my package?

We cannot make any changes to your itinerary once your purchase is complete.

Return To top

Can I change a name on my package?

No. It is very important that you type travelers' names carefully. We cannot change a reservation once it has been made with our suppliers.

Return To top

What happens if I don't use a portion of my package?

We sell packages, which allows us to offer excellent value to our customers. We cannot unbundle our offerings. While you will not be penalized for any unused portion of your package, please be aware that if your travel package includes airline reservations, your return flight will be subject to cancellation if you do not take your departure flight. We cannot refund you for any unused portion of the package.

How do you remember my departure city? Do you use cookies?

To make us more responsive to the needs and interests of our visitors, we use a standard feature of browser software, called a "cookie." A cookie assigns each visitor a unique, random number (an anonymous user ID) that resides on your computer. The cookie doesn't personally identify you and it cannot read data from your computer.

Cookies have become a standard practice on the Internet. We use cookies to help us tailor our site to your needs, and deliver a more personalized service. In addition, we use cookies to track the pages on our site visited by our users. It helps us build a more useful site if we know which pages our users are viewing and how often they go back to a certain page. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features, including the purchasing process.
