Perhaps you have a family emergency that requires you to fly to another city or across the world, maybe you have some last-minute business trip scheduled. Whatever your reason for travel, booking<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last-minute flights<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be confusing when it comes to determining whether it will be cheaper or if you\u2019ll fork out some hefty nairas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember the good old days, when you could hover around a check-in desk and land <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">last-minute flight deals<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to your favourite destination? Of course, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/trvelstartngph.wpenginepowered.com\/standby-flights\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">standby flights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> still exist, but the days of booking cheap, spontaneous flights at the airport are a thing of the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43404 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/airport-4120835.jpg\" alt=\"last minute flights\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Are last-minute flights cheaper?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cheap flights last minute<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a game of luck. Generally, it is not cheaper to book <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">last-minute flights<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead, you\u2019ll find that the opposite is true. <\/span>Airlines increase the price as the departure date gets closer<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The reason for this increase is due to the consumers being business travellers who are most likely to book <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">last-minute flights<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and their travel expenses are covered by the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to find cheap last-minute flights?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find cheap flights at the last minute if you know where and how to find them. If you need to book last-minute flights, keep in mind that prices are determined by the time of year, passenger demand, major events\/festivals, weather, competitor prices and so much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43405 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-661409374.jpg\" alt=\"last-minute flights\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some great tips on getting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">last-minute flight deals<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1. Keep your travel dates and times flexible<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll need to be flexible with your dates and times if you\u2019re looking to score cheap flights at the last minute. Airline ticket prices will vary depending on the day of the week, time of year, and upcoming holidays such as Easter and Christmas. It\u2019s best to keep a few dates and days in mind to avoid disappointment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Be open-minded with your destination<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth is, there is always a deal to some amazing destination. Whether you\u2019re looking to go shopping in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/lp\/dubai\/flights\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dubai <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or island-hopping in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/lp\/thailand\/flights\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thailand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, if you\u2019re flexible about where you want to go, your chance of getting<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last-minute flight deal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s are enhanced. If you\u2019re focused on one place at a time, you\u2019ll be forced to pay the prices available at the specific time you\u2019re looking for. Once you\u2019re flexible with your destination, you\u2019ll see how many more options become available at your disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Consider budget airlines and alternative airports<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, we have more airline options when it comes to flying between continents. Discover budget airlines for your long-haul <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/lp\/travellers-guide\/flight-routes\">flight routes<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can score incredible deals when you fly to international destinations like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/lp\/new-york\/flights\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/lp\/seychelles\/flights\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seychelles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Do make sure that you check the small details like fees for checked bags. Add up the price of the ticket and any additional fees before purchasing to ensure that you\u2019ve scored a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last-minute flight deal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43406 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-1069089916.jpg\" alt=\"last-minute travel\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re travelling to another country, look for the hub airport with the cheapest flights, even if that is not your end destination. From this airport, you can catch a separate flight on a budget carrier (if the combined flights work out cheaper than one ticket to a less-popular airport).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Avoid booking tickets in groups<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you search for multiple tickets, avoid doing it in a single purchase. You\u2019ll see that airlines always show the highest ticket price in a group of tickets. Search for each ticket as a single person.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Follow airlines online<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great way to find<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last-minute flight deals<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is by following airlines on social media. This is where you\u2019ll get to see any news on last-minute sales on tickets. Don\u2019t forget to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/lp\/sign-up\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sign up to Travelstart\u2019s newsletter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be the first to know about incredible <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/lp\/flight-deals\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flight deals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>6. Download Flapp<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you download Travelstart\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/lp\/products-services\/mobile-apps\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flapp app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you\u2019ll get access to exclusive specials on domestic and international flights. It\u2019s the ideal place to find the best fares for your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">last-minute flight<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43407 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-1164682658.jpg\" alt=\"last-minute travel\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re in desperate need of a last-minute flight, make sure to do thorough research because there\u2019s always a cheap fare waiting somewhere.
