Another drawback of choosing last minute holiday deals is that it is less likely to work for more than two people. When you take a last minute holiday deal it is likely that you will be relying on the airline company and the hotel, cottage or villa that you will be staying at to offer last minute deals. The chances of the airline and hotel having extra room for more than two people are very slim. This means that the last minute holiday deal may not be that ideal if you prefer to travel with more than two people.
