Late Availability Holidays
 

What is a Late
Availability Holiday?

In the main, holidays that are sold close to the departure date.

How does it Work ?

In general there are two types of late availability holidays:

1. Where you book “named” accommodation, that is you know which accommodation you’ll be staying in when you book or
2. You choose the destination airport and the type of accommodation i.e. room only, self catering, hotel and the tour operator decides on the specific resort and accommodation.

Will my Accomodation be featured in any brochure?

Perhaps - you’ll need to check when you arrive as some companies contract additional accommodation for late holidays.

When will I be told where i'm staying

If you’ve not booked “named” accommodation you’ll usually be told when you arrive at your destination airport. Check with your travel advisor when booking.

Is a late availability holiday right for me?

A late availability holiday is ideal for someone who knows where and when they wish to travel but are flexible about where they will stay. If you have specific needs then a late deal is not right for you i.e. Children's facilities, busy/quiet areas, low floor etc.
