last minute holidays

Deb · 18 Aug 2008, 13:00

Does anyone know where to get these last minute holidays that are CHEAP where you dont know where you're going?

**The Flying Mouse** · 18 Aug 2008, 13:20

Any London taxi.

Costs only as long as you want to keep paying.

Mystery destination GUARANTEED.

Alternatively, see if &x]this site can help.

Deb · 18 Aug 2008, 13:26

Last minute.com is way over priced. They used to be good, but they know people think of them first lol. I was looking for real value for money

samurai7 · 18 Aug 2008, 13:35

gotta be teletext then, surely?

Deb · 18 Aug 2008, 13:46

How do you use that lol

samurai7 · 18 Aug 2008, 13:49

Deb · 18 Aug 2008, 13:57

good point, well made

there's a teletext holidays website now as well, if that helps?

samurai7 · 18 Aug 2008, 14:00

...although it doesn't look that cheap to me lol

Deb · 18 Aug 2008, 14:12

No it doesn't lol. Plus it's way to confusing for me

I hate being given too much choice

mszee · 18 Aug 2008, 14:48

Cheapest vacation for a Brit? States...go to CA or FL for a change...

LucyK! · 18 Aug 2008, 14:53

Stop it Zina, I have itchy feet after tour!

Deb · 18 Aug 2008, 15:00

LOL Zina... you could be right

I don't have itchy feet just a lot of guilt that i;ve done so much and the kids have done nothing

Plus I need a rest after the tour lol. it was bloody hard work

I am not kidding at all...being serious...take kids to Disney Land or Disney World...my personal recommendation all things considering would be FL...remember...we have the same prices...about...but for you they are over half off...

Well, come on down...

mszee · 18 Aug 2008, 15:18

I can also try to dig up for you the hotel we stayed in if you want to...it was absolutely marvelous...more like a townhouse set up than a room alone...with living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, etc...

Siobhan · 18 Aug 2008, 15:26

I dont know if this is what you had in mind but we went away to copenhagen for a long weekend on those 1p flights from ryanair. it was a last minute thing and worked out rather well. we spent most of our time in Tivoli gardens on the rides and eating waffles and ice cream! lol

**RadioMaster** · 18 Aug 2008, 16:30

about how much would such a last minute flight to the states be?

Think you have to check on your side that kinda thing...

Deb · 18 Aug 2008, 16:52

Zina, I thought about euro Disney then thought maybe USA would be cheaper lol

*AndyK* · 18 Aug 2008, 16:53

Get yourself down to a travel agents.

You may find that they're as cheap as anyting you'll find on the web for a last minute "I don't care where I go" holiday ... and you could get a choice of where you go as well.

ddin't see anything but hotels, water, motorway and bridges though lol. I heard its nice though and would consider going again when Ryanair do their enny flights again. We went to Glasogw last yr for a penny each and the kids loved it

I just realised that after I'd written it lol
The best time to go is around Christmas - we went the first weekend in December and the weather was great, really cold and crisp. in Tivoli they had fake snow and decorations but it was done quite tastefully, I'd love to go back again!

mszee · 18 Aug 2008, 17:06

American Disney is still cheaper...I think...

And yes, I also mostly go to travel agents...we have one and just call her on the phone and tell her what we want and she gives us our options...after my boss paid for vacation online and then found out that yes, everything was booked but nothing was paid for...I try not to book things like these online unless it is directly with the airline and/or hotel. As it is...apparently saving money on booking online instead of making a phone call for December hotel screwed us over anyway...oh well...live and learn...they probaly would hear yankee accent...or god forbid...Russian accent and would have screwed us even worse on the phone...
