If you're able to drop everything and go, traveling last-minute can be a great way to save. Recent last-minute round-trip airfares have included $150 to Washington, D.C., from Los Angeles; $200 to St. Thomas, USVI, from major East Coast cities; and $200 to Grand Cayman from New York (LaGuardia). Also check travel providers with a last-minute focus, such as lastminute.com and LastMinuteTravel.com.
For accommodations and rental cars, sometimes all you have to do is call and ask if there's last-minute availability, and if so, if you can get a discount. This is an especially common practice with B&Bs, vacation rentals, and boutique hotels. In these cases, be sure to call the local hotel or car agency's front desk, rather than a central reservations line.
