Late deal holidays are a great way of getting away for less. They are usually best value for money during quiet periods, such as out of school holidays and off peak months. Late deal holidays have been called many different names during the last few years, for many years you would book a Thomson Square Deal, a Thomson Pricebreaker, a Cosmos Pricebeater or a Airtours Sundeal but many operators now simply call the last minute holidays a late deal.
In years gone by it was worth waiting until the very last minute to book your late deal holiday, however with the onset of the low cost carriers the market has changed, many operators put there last minute holidays on sale upto three months before the departure date. Quite often the best time to book is between ten and six weeks prior to departure to have the best choice of dates and durations. However if you are flexible on where you go, where you fly from and how long you go for it can pay to still wait until the last minute.
If you book a late deal holiday it will not always include many facilities that are advertised in a brochure, sometimes you may not even know where you are staying and will be allocated on arrival by your tour operator, this accommodation may or may not be featured in their brochure. Many people often think that a late deal holiday is the cheapest way to book, however that is not always the case as many travel companies offer fantastic early booking offers such as big discounts, free child places and two weeks for price of one.
