Expert Tips for a Last-Minute Trip

Three Expert Tips for Planning a Last-Minute Trip (From BBC)

Tip 1 — Be Flexible (Flights & Destinations)

Last-minute travel can be costly and challenging. Flexibility is key. Consider different dates, times, or destinations. Remain open to varying dates, times, and even destinations. Use tools like Google Travel or KAYAK, choose weekdays, and explore packages with flights, hotels, and activities to save.

Tip 2 — Skip the Flight (Choose Closer & Cheaper Options)

Travelers can choose road trips, staycations, or buses, often cheaper and sometimes faster than short flights. Modern buses offer comfort with Wi-Fi, charging outlets, and legroom, with the best deals on busy routes like New York to Philadelphia.

Tip 3 — Smart Stays (Last-Minute Hotels Can Save Money)

Hotels often offer last-minute discounts to fill empty rooms. Apps like HotelTonight or Hopper help find deals, and contacting hotels directly can reveal special rates. Midweek stays are usually cheaper with better availability.

The 4th Golden Tip: Travel Light, Rent Smart

Even after you’ve found cheap travel options and a discounted hotel room, one major problem often remains: gear you can’t easily pack. Mobility scooters, wheelchairs, strollers, travel cribs, and event equipment are bulky and expensive to replace at the last minute. Buying or shipping these items on short notice is time-consuming and defeats the purpose of a spontaneous trip.

This is where Cloud of Goods comes in. With Cloud of Goods, you can easily book the gear you need online and have it delivered straight to your hotel, Airbnb, or event location, often on the same day in many areas.
