Are you looking for a cheap "last minute" flight ticket? With these 7 tips you will succeed!

Planning a last-minute vacation is not easy, but you can find some ingenuity even at the last minute cheap plane ticket.

If your dates are fixed, at least the list of selected destinations should be broad

Did we mention you need to be flexible?! If that's not possible as far as travel dates are concerned, then at least be flexible when putting words to the destination. It is unlikely that you will find a "last minute" for your chosen destination, but the more extensive your list, the more likely it is.

If your destination is fixed, at least the dates should be flexible

If there is only one destination you want to visit, then you will need to be more flexible when it comes to timing. It's never entirely clear when a bargain ticket to New York or Bali will appear, so always be on the lookout and open to even the most improbable dates.

Check departures from multiple airports.

In terms of flexibility, check all nearby airports, even smaller regional ones. If you find good connections from Brnik, try your luck in Venice, Zagreb, Vienna, Trieste and even Graz. Of course, keep in mind that this increases the cost of the trip for parking or transportation, so it is not always necessary that it pays off.

Try to book at least a week before your trip

"Last minute" has a different meaning for everyone. If you like to plan, even searching for a plane ticket a month before your trip can be stressful. If you're more spontaneous, you might associate this term with buying a ticket the night before your flight. In an ideal world, "last-minute" means booking your plane tickets at least a week in advance. "Our data shows that, on average, we see the biggest price increases for domestic and international flights seven days or less after departure," said a Kayak spokesperson.

You are only looking for one ticket

Even if you are traveling in a group, always look for just one ticket. In some cases, you will only find one or two tickets at the lowest price, while searching for three you will come across a higher total price.

Set up alerts on price rises or falls

Let the service do the hard work for you. Skyscanner and Google Flights, for example, has a tool that alerts you when the prices of the selected flight go up or down.

Avoid traveling during the holidays

Forget looking for last-minute flights during the holidays, whether it's late December or summer. Instead, choose to travel on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, which are traditionally the cheapest days of the week to fly.
