Another disadvantage that you will find if you choose a last minute holiday is that last minute deals might actually turn out not to be last minute deals at all. Some travel agents have a tendency of advertising their services as last minute deals although you are actually paying the regular price. Also, in some instances, the travel companies, hotels and holiday villas may even double the original price for their services or add extra charges. When this is the case, since it is a last minute deal, you will have no choice but to accept the offer.
