It’s easy to be spontaneous with a little help from Netflights. We compare thousands of flight routes every day to get you the best bargains.

How to find cheap last minute flights to anywhere

Here’s the lowdown on how to get cheap last minute flights, and where’s best to go for an impulsive getaway.

To get the cheapest prices, be flexible!

If you want to get the cheapest fare possible, search for different departure airports as prices can vary hugely between airports. For example, choose all London airports instead of London Heathrow, or compare prices from Manchester + Liverpool John Lennon + Leeds Bradford.

Follow these steps to get the best deals:

Type your departure airport or city in the search box
Type your destination, or even 'Anywhere', in the search box
Use the filters to set your maximum price per person
Choose a country to see all flights that meet your criteria
Select the destination and date you fancy
Choose your flight, and upgrade your fare to add baggage
Finally, add travel insurance, car parking, car hire - and a hotel if you like

Best places to go on a last minute flight?

The jetsetters out there will be pleased to know that, generally, when it comes to finding cheap last minute flights, you’ll get a better deal the further you fly. When you look at price versus distance, flying long haul last minute is much better value for money. Booking a spontaneous trip somewhere exotic will often end up being cheaper than if you’d planned the same holiday in advance. Sounds like the perfect excuse, doesn’t it? Using our filters, you can hunt for last minute flights to Las Vegas, or search for a late deal on flights to Bangkok. Or, if you really want to embrace your impulsive side, you could even book flights to Australia.

And here's another tip: Book a hotel with your flight and it'll be cheaper still! Discounts on flights are available when you add your hotel on so you'll SAVE more by booking a holiday. Take a look at our Last Minute Holidays - they're a barg!

Things to check before you fly

Prepare for your trip

Do you need a visa?

Some countries require visitors to have a visa, e-visa or tourist card before they can enter. If this is the case, make sure you have enough time to sort all the paperwork before your flight.

Do you need any vaccinations?

If you’re going somewhere tropical, you may need some inoculations before you go. If you’re flying last minute, check you’ve left yourself enough time for vaccinations.

When does your passport expire?

Some destinations require your passport to be valid for six months after you arrive. Check your passport before you book, as you may not be able to get a new one in time.

Do you have valid travel insurance?

With any trip, you should have travel insurance – and flying last minute is no different. If you don’t have insurance, it’s best to get this sorted as soon as possible.

Have you downloaded your airline's app?

Keep track of your flight with your airline’s app. You can check in with the touch of a button, and your boarding pass will be ready to go on your phone.

Foreign currency

If you exchange your currency at the airport, you’ll usually get a poor rate. It’s best to get your cash before you travel, or load some money on to a multi-currency card.
