In addition to their standard holiday and flight booking service, Airtours also offers customers the chance to book last-minute or Airtours late deals. Customers utilising this service can save hundreds of pounds off the original price of the holiday, however, you will usually find that you will scheduled to depart on your holiday within days of booking your late deal. But, if this is not a problem then late deals are a great way to book an extremely affordable holiday to some of the top destinations on offer.
In terms of late deal holidays, Airtours mainly specialises in the European market, covering a vast range of countries such as Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal and Spain. There are also options to travel further afield to destinations such as Tunisia, Egypt and even Gambia. This being said, the country Airtours offers the most amount of late deals for, and therefore where there are usually the greatest savings to be made, is Spain, the ever popular destination for UK holidaymakers (1).
Many travellers incorrectly believe that these “late deals” are only offered due to the destination or resort being unpopular or it having received bad reviews. However, more often than not this is not the case; rather what has happened is that those who were due to occupy the room re-arranged their holiday at the last minute, leaving a vacancy. Instead of leaving the room vacant, it is instead offered at a heavily reduced rate to ensure that it is occupied.
Airtours late deals are a great option if you are looking to holiday on a budget and are flexible in terms of your departure date. The only negative regarding Airtours late deals is the fact that their reach is limited mainly to Europe, so if you wish to travel further afield then it may be worthwhile exploring other options such as lastminute.com, who specialise in late deals to destinations all across the world.
