Teletext, On the Beach, the first resort.com. When I was looking a couple of weeks ago there were some bargains from Leeds Bradford. A friend of mine went through First resort.com last week, they got a 3* HB in Malta inc transfers for £537 for 1 week total for the pair of them, found it last Thursday and flew out this Tuesday, they did ths same last year & managed to get a brilliant deal from East Midlands. They had been looking for a while, apparently if you can leave within about 3 days you can be really lucky. Me, I was after a late booking but chanced upon somewhere i really fancied booked it & paid for it & then it went down! Oh well :)

Well I suppose technically if you leave it less than 60 seconds before you wish to go then it won't be 'last minute'!

I would start looking now to week before you go. Thomson teletext page 276 often have a good bargain going.

i just keep looking at different sites everyday and when i see a price i like i book it thomas cook. thomson. travel republic are very good but you do have to print your own details out with travel republic not difficult if i can do it anyone can also first choice.another way is to pop to the travel agents let them do the hard work and find you something get a print out bring the details home with you and you will probably beat the price online. good luck
