Always at the last minute…
You booked a vacation a year ago and now your trip has been canceled and you need a new destination on short notice? With these tips, you can’t go wrong…
#1 Be flexible
If you want to travel at short notice, you have to be flexible! This applies to almost everything on your trip: destination, flights, and dates. Don’t focus on one destination but find out what’s good around it. If, for example, your vacation to Sardinia has to be canceled, then also look for alternatives on the La Maddalena Islands or on Corsica.
#2 Be strategic with flights
Flights are usually the biggest challenge when it comes to last-minute travel. With these tips, you are guaranteed to find the cheapest flight
- Always use the incognito mode of your browser and delete cookies if possible, so you don’t get a price surcharge just because you look for flights more often.
- Google Flights has a price table that shows you on which dates your roundtrip flights are cheapest
Use the price table
- Be flexible from where you fly. If you are flying from Germany, then most routes to the major airports are also feasible by train. So look for all departure airports in Germany and not just Hanover or Dortmund.
- Use Skyscanner’s All Locations option. This way you can find the cheapest flights and decide where you want to go.

#4 Have a plan
Once you booked your flights and found cheap accommodation, you should make plans for your stay. Plan what you want to see when and where and how you will get there. Do you need a rental car on short notice? Or do you need bus tickets? A plan will make traveling easier, but don’t get frustrated if things don’t go as planned. When traveling, unforeseen adventures always happen!
If you want to avoid all the planning stress, you should just pick a trip on JoinMyTrip and our TripLeaders will take over the tedious planning part of the trip…😉
