Last-Minute August Bank Holiday Travel: Finding the Best Deals
As the school holidays approach and the summer season begins to wind down, there are several tips to help you find the best deals on airfare for your August bank holiday travel.
According to travel experts, the optimal time to book last-minute flights for savings is around the National Cheap Flight Day, which falls on Saturday, August 23, 2025. This date marks the unofficial end of peak summer travel and the start of the shoulder season, when airlines typically reduce prices to fill empty seats.
Using flight price tracking tools and setting alerts around this period can help catch the lowest fares as they tend to drop significantly but may not last long. Some popular tools include Google Flights and Points Path.
In addition to booking around the National Cheap Flight Day, there are other strategies to help you find the best deals. For short-haul flights and holiday travel, the best time to book can range from a few weeks to four months before departure, but last-minute deals can sometimes be found just days ahead of the travel date as prices fluctuate.
Another tip is to be flexible with your travel dates and routes. By being open to alternative destinations and travel dates, you can maximize your chances of finding the best deals.
It's also worth noting that airlines adjust seat availability and prices over the weekend, with Sundays regularly delivering the lowest average booking prices. Prices tend to spike on Fridays due to increasing demand.
If you're looking for a mistake fare, which is an error that occurs when airlines or travel agents accidentally list the wrong price for a flight, you'll need to be quick to take advantage as these fares are typically removed as soon as they're spotted.
Finally, with many airlines now charging extra for passengers to check luggage in during their flights, it's more affordable to fly with just carry-on. This can help you save even more on your August bank holiday travel.
So, whether you're planning a classic European escape or a trip to Disneyland Paris, remember to book around National Cheap Flight Day (August 23, 2025) for the best last-minute airfare deals. Happy travels!
