Booking last minute holidays no longer comes with the same perks of yore so good things will likely not come to those who wait. There is no point waiting to book nearer to departure time nowadays, Ashford warned. Years ago there were low-cost carriers, charters and scheduled airlines – and they were using different price matrixes. Now they all use the same model – they get more expensive.
