Last-minute flights are worth a look

I know I’ve mentioned this deal before in this column, but I think it’s worth pointing out again for anyone who isn’t a regular reader: Last minute flight deals at Expedia.com

These aren’t technically “last-minute” deals because most of the flights leave around 10 days from now, but who really waits until they are about to head to the airport to buy their plane ticket anyway? That would be a good way to flush most of your travel money down the drain because airlines have long charged their absolute highest prices for people who walk up to the ticket counter empty handed just before a flight.

Finding discount airfare is a tricky thing because in most cases you’ll get your best deals about 3 to 4 months before a flight. If you book too early you won’t get the fare sales, and if you wait too long they’ll be sold out. That’s why these last-minute deals work out so well. You are given another chance to get a great deal even if you missed the sale. Some of these deals aren’t great, so you have to be a bit careful before you buy, but that’s true of anything in life. I’m sure you’ll do fine with this, though.
