Search And Buy Cathay Pacific Last Minute Flights
What are Last Minute Flights?
Last-minute flights are flights that are booked lose to the actual flight departure time and date. For a flight to be considered 'last-minute', it needs to be booked at least a few days or weeks before the scheduled departure time - this also includes flights booked on the same day of departure! Last-minute flights are booked for many reasons by all kinds of travellers - the most common reasons are for last-minute business trips, spontaneous breaks away and emergency travel. These types of flights can be cheap when airlines need to fill empty seats on the aircraft quickly, or expensive when airlines increase ticket prices to take advantage of travellers who need to travel urgently and are willing to pay more to get on the flight.
