Steps to Last Minute Travel Jetting
off on the spur of the moment used to be strictly for high rollers. Now, thanks
to the Web, last minute travel is a breeze - easy and cheap. To make the most
out of your whimsical vacation, simply follow these 8 simple steps. 1.
Most airlines offer last minute Internet weekend fares, usually on Wednesdays,
which you can see by going to their Web sites or signing up for e-mail newsletters.
Rather than cluttering your in-box, join SmarterLiving.com,
which compiles all the week's deals in a single e-mail.
2. Keep an eye
on the fares from week to week and you'll get a sense of who flies where and how
often certain cities are on sales (New York is common, Orlando is not). It's important
that you decide quickly, since these seats go fast, especially to popular destinations.
If you're set on a particular location and it's not on sales, there's always CheapAirlines.com
3.
Don't be afraid of the phone. If you are having problems booking on a web site,
call them up and request for the Web-only fare. If the airline gives you attitude,
tell them your computer broke.
4. Fox Rent A Car offers discount
car rental deals at LAX, and all Califoria airports. They also offer last
minute car rental deals in Arizona. Airlines often tag car-rental deals onto their
last-minute e-fares.
5.
Almost every hotel is on the Web these days, with picture. City hotels that cater
to business travelers are more likely to have last-minute deals, especially on
weekends. Check out the consolidators like HotelDiscounts.net
 which
offer some of the best last minute hotel rates on the web.
6. If you prefer
last minute vacations or just need inspiration, go to americawestvacations.com
where you can find both unique as well as mainstream vacation ideas. They offer
Vegas
Vacations deals which includes air
travel to Las Vegas as well as cheap
travel packages to Las Vegas.
7. Sign up for our

8. Don't worry. Any place you're
likely to go has a tourism infrastructure and can handle whatever situation you
bring to the table.
