Dirty Cheap Family Stay Overs Tomorrow

By Veronica Larson

Most people would be thrilled to have the chance to take an unplanned vacation - to just take off on a spur-of-the-moment getaway. Before now, that was almost unthinkable due to the sky-high prices of last-minute plane tickets. You'll be happy to know that it's now possible to book a vacation on short notice and get a great deal on that vacation you've been wanting to take. Let's look at some easy ways to schedule a vacation on a moment's notice:

1. The first place that you should turn, when searching for a last minute vacation bargain, is the internet. For example, you can find a number of good and reputable discount travel sites online that give great packages for tours of Europe, Caribbean getaways, Hawaiian trips, and much more. These discount travel sites offer great deals on vacation packages on short notice. When you're searching for deals online, you will find many different types of vacation offers that are available and how much they cost. These offers are an ideal choice for anyone who wants to leave on a trip now, and can't afford to spend a lot of money. Utilizing such services can save you upwards of 30% over the travel arrangements that you would be able to reserve as an individual.

2. Another way to book a last-minute vacation inexpensively is to take your trip during the tourist off-season. The same vacation package will often be 10 percent cheaper during the low travel season than it would if you purchased it when everybody is vacationing. There are great Europe tour vacation packages at such places as Athens, Barcelona, Frankfurt, Paris, London, Rome, and more. While winter is the best time to take an inexpensive European tour, traveling to Mexico or Hawaii during the summer months is the best time to save money.

3. Another way to save on travel costs for last-minute booking is to take a trip to a destination that has recently experienced a hurricane. Most people think this is a bad time to travel, but the location's economy is probably suffering because people aren't traveling there and will offer discount packages to boost tourism. Think of it this way: you'll be aiding the local economy as well as taking an inexpensive vacation.

4. Traveling with a group of friends is a great way to save money and have some fun. You can split the costs of the vacation package. Use online travel discount sites to help you decide where to go, as these can help you narrow down the options for inexpensive trips.

5. Another technique for conserving money when booking your vacation, is to fly off-peak season, days, and hours. The most inexpensive time to fly is typically during the middle of the week. Along that same line, it's cheaper to fly on the off-season. Instead of traveling during the first week of April, for example, it makes better sense and will cost less to take your trip towards the end of March.
