How do I get started buying a package? |
 |
| A. |
You can browse Last Minute Deals either by date or by destination. If you're searching by date, use the Search by Date box to choose your departure city and the dates you wish to travel. If you're looking for a specific destination, use the Search by Destination box to choose your departure city, your destination state (or international), and destination city. The site will return a list of available packages that fit your search criteria. Find your package, choose your components, and go! |

|
| Q. |
Why are there no other flight times available? |
|
| A. |
Our dynamic technology allows us to show you the best deals available right now for the travel dates or destination that you have selected. Flight availability changes all the time, so it is possible that if you check back later, new flights will appear. It is also possible, however, that our availability will drop off, so flight times you previously viewed may no longer be listed. If you see a package you want, it is best to buy it immediately as last-minute availability is limited. |

|
| Q. |
Will you have the same great deal next month that you have today? |
|
| A. |
We work closely with our partner travel providers to offer customers the best trips at the last minute. Since we work with last-minute inventory, we do not know what packages will be available more than 14 days in advance. And as soon as we know, you know. Our dynamic technology constantly queries reservations systems to find what's available right now at the best prices. Due to the dynamic nature of our offerings, we cannot predict or guarantee the future availability of any of our packages. If a package is listed on the site now, it's available, but we do not know if or when the same package will be offered again. |

| Q. |
Can I take a longer trip or do you just offer weekend travel? |
|
| A. |
We currently specialize in weekend deals and longer weekend trips. Thus, our arrangements with our air travel providers are structured in such a way that the earliest we depart in the week is Thursday, and the latest we return in the week is Tuesday with a mandatory Saturday night stay. We are growing rapidly though, and we're planning to extend to longer trips in the future. |

| A. |

| Q. |
How do you price for infants traveling without their own airline seats? |
|
| A. |
If you choose infants (under 2) traveling without airline seats, we assume the child will be sitting on a parent's lap during flight. Your final price per person will not reflect any charges for a child seated on a parent's lap. Please contact Customer Service after your purchase, so that we may enter your infant's information into your reservation. If you would like a seat for the child, please choose "infants (under 2) with airline seat." Charges will apply. If you are traveling internationally with an infant, please contact the airline directly upon booking your deal. The airline may assess additional charges, and documentation such as birth certificate may be required. |

Do you offer bereavement fares? |
|
| A. |
We would like to extend our deepest sympathy for your loss. While we recognize the difficulty of your situation, our prices are the lowest around for last minute travel, therefore we do not offer bereavement fares. |

We do not accept vouchers, points, unused airline tickets or frequent flier miles as payment. However, all of our packages are eligible for frequent flier mile credit.

How will I receive my airline tickets and hotel reservations? |
