How to book last minute travel online
USA Today had an interesting article by Jessica Labrencis about her experience booking last minute travel online. She mangaed to find a nice package from Boston to New Orleans. I did a quick search on some of the sites she mentioned and found that last minute deals to Rome are far more expensive than London, Amsterdam, and Paris.
I also noticed that you can find the best prices by being flexible with your dates. For example the same London vacation cost $689.00/person from March 2- March 6, but from March 5-9 was $718.00/person.
