Last second travel takes discounts to the extreme

For the past 10 years or so these travel companies have abused the term “last minute” so much that it really only means 2 or 3 weeks from now, so now the fine people at lastminute.com are pushing the envelope with their special last second deals: >Save up to 70% on last second travel deals!

I actually assume these deals are good for the upcoming weekend because they can’t really expect people to commit to a trip just before racing to the airport. But the deals are very good so that might even be worth it. Here are two current deals that include airfare and 2 nights of hotels in either Boston or Washington DC for around $200 per person, including taxes and fees. It doesn’t take an accounting genius to see that’s a serious discount, so those looking for a cheap weekend have a place to search.

There’s something very exciting about actually deciding on a trip just before you go. It’s like you are in a dream and one minute you are at home and a few hours later you are checking into a hotel in Amsterdam and then heading to one of the famous Amsterdam sex clubs. Okay, so not everyone has that dream, I guess, but those things are legal over there, so don’t get all judgmental on me after all we’ve been through.
