Booking travel and hotels at the last minute

Advertisement

There's a lot to think about when booking last-minute travel and hotels. We're going to try to keep our wits about us. Our mission is to keep several doors open to different destinations. Last minute is an expression that doesn't mean the same thing today as it did in the past, because no one can buy a ticket at the airport. However, you can buy a ticket one to three days in advance for a very good price. We look at travel and hotel bookings. Stay tuned!

FREEDOMtravel tries!

We are entering the most difficult time to get away somewhere. We were thinking of 3-4 days around Christmas and a week over New Year's to different destinations, and there are many factors to consider. It doesn't have to be hot, but it has to be an exciting destination.

For us, holidays are about discovering and writing, otherwise we might as well stay at home. Everything is paid for with what we have, so there are no instalments or credit cards, so it's all about smart solutions and keeping the price down.

Christmas is approaching

Christmas

We are watching Dublin or Minsk around Christmas and we think it is still very expensive. To Dublin it costs today 5000 for both T&R with Wizzair and Ryanair and to Minsk it costs 6000 SEK. We will be away 4 nights and hotels in Dublin will be more expensive than in Minsk, and as it looks today, we end up at around 8000 on both.

Add to this the cost of travelling to and from the airport and all the food we have to eat. If we are realistic, we end up with around 14,000 SEK, which I think is a lot. What has also attracted us is Georgia, but it is far too expensive, 10,000 just for the flight, and Bucharest, which is exciting. We will try to wait as long as possible and see where we end up?

Too expensive right now

New Year

Here we are watching southern Spain or the Canary Islands, which are really too boring for us. If we are lucky, we can go very cheaply because there are plenty of trips to these destinations. We are not there to lie on a beach, but more to rent a car on the first day and get around and find all the best that the surroundings can offer, or maybe an exciting boat trip.

We love exploring and writing and we'll see if we can get away, and we'll wait for the prices as long as we can until "almost" the last minute. We might end up in Moscow, because you never know with us, haha.

Last minute travel and hotel bookings

If we go with a charter, we have hotels, but if we go to Minsk, for example, there is a lot to consider. The hotels also go down the closer we get, but if you are in an eastern country, it is difficult to know the quality of the hotels. Here it is important to read reviews and pick out the most important.

Now, we know that reviews aren't always reliable on these sites, but we prefer to see that the wallpaper isn't the best rather than that the shower works poorly. Reading about the staff being friendly and knowing some English makes everything a bit easier and staying in a central location. We can pack and leave in a few hours, and it will be an exciting resolution.
