Last Minute Flight Deals Going High Tech

In our continuing effort to improve the experience for our Last Minute Flight Deals audience, I have added a utility to the site called Blog Copy.

BlogCopy is designed to monitor which text snippets and which images our readers copy and paste. If a reader highlights “last minute flight deals” on this site for example and then pastes it into a new blog post of their own. I’ll be alerted.

If a reader finds a phrase on this site like “looking for JetBlue coupons?” and then enters it into a search engine, I’ll know. I’ll have a much better idea of what images, phrases, and words are of most interest to my readers.

Go ahead and give it a try if you want. Here are some phrases to copy and paste:

airfare prices are going up…
what’s the deal with American Airlines?
airfare discount coupons and codes
is it better to buy last minute airfare

As always, thanks for being a loyal reader of Last Minute Flight Deals!

Beware of Airfare Surcharges and Fees

When you’re closing out those last minute flight reservations, there will be times when your fees, taxes, and surcharges are more than the actual price of the fare itself. 

More often the case in international travel, this phenomena is becoming more and more prevalent in domestic flights as well. Be sure you know the full fare when selecting your flights, and watch out for those fees!

Did you know that each travel website negotiates their own airfare rates with the major airline carriers? What this means is that you can expect a slight difference between prices among different airfare websites for the exact same flight.

If you are searching for last minute flight deals, It’s a good idea to shop rates on several websites before making your final purchase. It’s also a good idea to check the actual airline website for their rates as well. The article, Find the Cheapest Airfare by Selective Shopping, warns:


Once you’ve made an airfare purchase, you are committed permanently.


A little extra surfing can save you several dollars and net you some super last minute flight deals. Just surf before you buy – you can’t undo an airfare purchase.

How to Get the Best Last Minute Flight Deals

2 Techniques That May Net Big Savings on Airfare

In her recent post entitled Two Ways to Get Cheap Last Minute Flights, the author of the Last Minute Flights Blog points out two specific techniques to employ when searching for last minute flight deals. The first of these strategies is pretty standard nowadays but the second technique is often overlooked. If you are looking for last minute flight deals, then I suggest you read on…

The first technique is to visit every major airline’s website for last minute “website-only” deals. This strategy often nets a good last minute fare because the airline is unloading any and all empty seats according to the law of supply and demand. In other words if they have 10 empty seats (supply) and only one person is expressing any interest (demand), then the price will trend downwards until departure or a change in demand

The second technique might occasionally score you a big savings if you’re lucky, and that’s to call the area travel agents to see if they have any block seat reservations that are unsold. Sometimes out of pure desperation, travel agents wil sell these for 10%-25% of the going rate – that’s right, as much as 90% off!

According to Ali,

“Often, travel agents are allocated airline tickets for top resort destinations and last minute travelers. I still encourage you to check the travel search engines for cheap airline tickets last minute but you may get lucky and score a great fare by using the travel agent method.”

So get creative when looking for last minute fares – good luck and happy travels!

Book Review: 2nd Edition of "Airfare Secrets Revealed" by Tom Rhoades

Airfare Secrets Revealed

Having just read the updated (Second Edition) version of Tom Rhoades’s ”Airfare Secrets Revealed“, I wanted to share my thoughts about the material here on Last Minute Flight Deals.

First on my mind is kudos on all of the included bonuses. When you purchache the Airfare Secrets Revealed book from their official website, you not only get the Airfare Secrets Revealed book but also lots and lots of free goodies.

What Others are Saying

“When I flew to Sydney the best price I could find on my own was over $2,000.00 USD for a return ticket with stop overs. Using just a couple of the techniques in this book I was able to find a direct flight for $520.00 USD cheaper than the connecting flights I’d seen on the travel sites! I guess it goes without saying I was pretty happy with my results.”


- Matt H. (Toronto, Ontario)

Included Bonuses
Last Minute Traveller – FREE!
Holiday Plus! Software – FREE!
Party Travel – FREE!
How to Be an Air Courier – FREE!
Taking the Perfect Camera Shot – FREE!
Budget Travel Guide – FREE!
How to Budget a Family Vacation – FREE!
7 Language Phrase Books – FREE!
and a promise of Lifetime Updates for Fly Cheap! – FREE!

I found all of the free bonuses useful, and I particularly liked the family travel and budget travel guides. These two vaction planning documents were extremely useful and I have transferred them both to my laptop for when I travel! Since I had forgotten that Airfare Secrets Revealed came with free bonuses galore, I was VERY pleasantly surprised.

As for the eBook itself, here’s the thing…

I’m in the travel business so I was naturally familiar with many of the techniques described in the course. I did however get two super new techniques that I didn’t know about, and I have already saved $163 using one of them (which more than paid for the book!!). All of the techniques can be used by the novice and there were these two little golden nuggets for the more seasoned travelers too. Very cool!

I thought the book was well written and was definitely worth the $27 I paid for it. My first airfare purchase after reading the material was $163 less than I expected so it was a WISE purchase for me and I would definitely recommend it.

Since airlines are filling up available seats faster than ever before, and since most of the airfare and travel sites are acting as brokers for the airlines, you need to be savvy and use these types or resources more than ever. Reghardless of how you book airfare (third-party site or direct), the upcharge becomes THEIR profit.  The objective of this eBook is to help the reader get the absolute best price on airfare and it seems to deliver on that objective!

According to the author,

“Airfare Secrets Revealed is guaranteed to save you significant money on your next flight – and every flight you book from this day on!”

I’d recommend checking out the eBook and all of the bonuses by visiting the author’s website. It has a money back guarantee so it makes sense to check it out.

Last Minute Flight Deals are Powerful When Changing Search Terms

May 3rd, 2012 Posted in cheap flights, frugal flying, last minute flight deals, tips and tricks
No Comments

Occasionally, a search for last minute flight deals will present the best prices if you agree to switch airlines during your trip. Although an inconvenience, I think it’s worth the extra savings.

For example, lets say you are wanting to go to New York from Seattle, Washington… and you want to go TOMORROW.

Your search for last minute flight deals will be very frustrating if you tell the search engine that you want a non-stop flight. Change the search terms to include layovers and airline transfers, however, and you may be in for a very big (big as in savings) surprise.

An article on the Last Minute Flights Blog mentions,


“It may surprise you, but experts agree that the answer is now an undeniable “YES”. What was once considered a no-no and an extreme inconvenience is now considered a wise move for the airfare bargain seeker.”

So switch airlines enroute, and save some bucks on your last minute flight plans.
