We often hear about lastminute, more and more often actually, but do you know exactly what it is? Here we are to explain it to you!
The last minute is usually found a fifteen days before the actual date of departure for a destination, which can be a sea destination, a package to go skiing, this does not matter. The last second instead, yes because there is also this, is only a few days before departure and offers an even greater discount than the last minute. Last minutes are used to fill the last remaining unsold seats by offering them at discounted prices.
Speaking in pennies we can do a practical example. It book long in advance a trip in August, let's say in May, you will have a substantial discount, here the foresight of the client is rewarded, travel agencies earn money because they start filling up the places for the holiday and a discount encourages you to book earlier. Then there is a period when the price is full which fluctuates between three months and the month before. This is the most not recommended period for booking. For the same services you will pay a full price, you might as well wait for the last fortnight before leaving.
What could happen? Here you risk because if you are not careful last 15 days seats at discounted prices they will all be taken. If you are lucky you will be able to take the places you want for the holiday with the same services of the full price but also at the 30% discount.
Finally, if you are brave or basically it is a trip that you really chose at the last minute, you may happen to take a package also at 50% discount? As? taking it very last days than the date of departure. Here, these are the so called last second. Packages that are sold super discounted, without altering the quality of the holiday but sold at such a low price precisely because it is necessary to complete the last places before departure.
arrived under due date for fear or need to fill the village and at least recover expenses considerably lowers the price, spent as mentioned before at least to recover expenses.
What do you think, have I convinced you? There tell some experiences that you had with the last minute or with the last second? :)
