If you’re planning a spontaneous 2026 holiday, Expedia has you covered with just a few clicks. Choose from a range of options, from last-minute city breaks and last-minute all-inclusive package holidays to soaking up the sun in Greece, enjoying the fresh air in the Swiss Alps, or experiencing the romantic charm of last-minute holidays in Paris. Your flights, stays, and car hire are all included, so you can focus on packing for the beach or nights on the town.
Booking a last-minute holiday doesn't have to be expensive if you aim to book about six weeks before departure. For shorter trips or flexible destinations, you might even find deals at 1-2 weeks out. Booking in peak season can lead to some great last-minute deals for popular options like Majorca Island all-inclusive holidays if you're willing to be flexible on your dates. Your kids will love the theme parks on last-minute Orlando holidays no matter the time of year, so you can wait for some off-season budget-friendly packages as well. Best of all, last-minute holidays accommodate your busy everyday life when you don't always know exactly when you'll be able to go on holiday. And once you have that window, Expedia is there to make your holiday planning simpler and more rewarding.
