What Are Last-Minute Flights?
Last-minute flights refer to flights booked shortly before the departure date, typically within a week or even a few hours of takeoff. While it's common to think that last-minute bookings are always more expensive, this isn’t always the case. Airlines sometimes reduce fares to fill unsold seats, creating opportunities for travelers to snag deals.

When to Book Last-Minute Flights
Though there is no guarantee that you'll always find a cheaper flight, some periods are better for last-minute bookings:
- Weekdays: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are often the best days to find affordable flights as fewer people travel during the middle of the week.
- Non-Peak Times: If you avoid holidays, major events, and peak travel seasons, airlines may lower prices to fill seats.
- Late-Night or Early-Morning Flights: Also known as "red-eye" flights, these less convenient departure times often come with lower fares.
