Thinking of a European trip next week. Where’s best to search for late availability?

Thanks

It depends what you’re after. TUI is worth a try.

Tried TUI. Not showing much

Looking for B&B in hotel / small resort in sun.
Don’t mind city or island

I always book independently, ie flight search via Skyscanner or similar, then accommodation via Airbnb / Booking.com - naturally this will be dictated by your own individual requirement and what type of holiday you are looking for.

Worth signing up for emails from Travelzoo. I've just returned from a last minute week in Corfu, transfers, half board, including an all day boat trip, for £499.

I'd never done a package holiday before, but at that price, I'd do it again.

I think the benefits of protection of a package is good in this day and age.

We’re off today with Jet2 holidays. Booked a couple of weeks ago.

The app and search facility is good and the choice of flight times is generally better than TUI I found allowing you to book an off number of days if you want etc.

Don't discount places such as BA holidays. I booked a package 2 weeks ago for 2 weeks time, came out 300 cheaper than Jet2, for business class flights, same hotel, suite as opposed to standard room, All Inc as opposed to half board.

Shop around & you maybe surprised what you can find..

This is what we do.

March holiday in Tenerife for a week came in at about £700. That was a studio apartment (with a large terrace) on a beach front complex.
