Not much beats have a holiday to look forward to, but if you don't have one in the calendar just yet, you may be able to score a good deal by booking last minute.
Usually you'll get the best savings if you book around five to six months in advance. However if you're feeling spontaneous, not fixed on a destination and can be flexible with dates, there are savings to be had. We've rounded up the best Tui last minute and late deals for you to explore, and they all jet off in the next few weeks.
From three-night weekends away to seven nights of fun in the sun, there's something for everyone, whether you prefer all-inclusive, half board or self catering. With destinations like the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Greece and Portugal, each holiday includes Tui flights and a range of hotels, from adults-only to family-friendly options.
1. Canary Islands
You really are spoiled for choice when it comes to the best Canary Islands holidays, with each one offering something a bit different. With balmy temperatures even in the winter, it's no surprise that us Brits flock to the islands all year round. The only decision you have to make is which one of the eight islands to visit first.
With prices starting at around £200 per person for four nights in Gran Canaria, you won't need to break the bank to soak up the sun and jet off for a long weekend. Or why not spend a little more to stay at a suite at HL Rio Playa Blanca. It may only be for three nights, but it's currently down from £965 per person to £298, saving more than £1,300 per couple, and it's all-inclusive.
2. Cape Verde
The island of Cape Verde is a great choice for a last minute getaway, especially if you'd like to explore beyond your hotel or resort, with plenty of beautiful beaches, volcanic landscapes and a mixture of West African and Portuguese influences.
You'll find deals from as little as £445 per person when booking last minute, with us spotting standout savings of £500 off at the Tui all-inclusive Platinum Melia Lana, as well as a massive £565 off the Hotel Morabeza. With 18 Tui holidays discounted at the time of writing, no matter which one you pick, expect an average daily high of around 27C throughout the month of July.
3. Greece
One of our personal favourite summer holiday destinations, Greece and the surrounding Greek islands benefit from warm weather, crystal clear waters and so many incredible sights. Whether you plan to spend your time by the pool or want to take a step back in time by visiting its many archaeological ruins, you can certainly switch it up during your stay. You might even spot one of the Tui cruises on your wanders.
Crete is a great destination for families for all ages and we've spotted a deal on the island for the Tui blue Elounda Breeze, with kids clubs and evening entertainment to keep everyone happy, down from £1,071 per person to £444. We have a feeling deals like this won't stick around for long, so check them out sooner rather than later to avoid missing out. There are also adult-only hotels if you'd prefer a quieter and more relaxed stay.
4. Spain
From Mallorca and Menorca to Costa Brava and Ibiza, Spain remains a go-to destination for British holidaymakers, and for good reason. Check off historical landmarks, head to any one of country's stunning beaches and don't forget to indulge in some traditional tapas while you're there.
Currently, one of the cheapest deals is three nights at the Globales Torrenova in Mallorca, with more than 60 per cent off. There are also big savings to be had at Tui magic life Cala Pada in Ibiza, which features an all-inclusive stay at a one bedroom apartment for £323 when booking last minute, compared to its usual price of £978.
5. Portugal
Fancy sunning yourself in the Algarve or Madeira next month? Well, look no further. From more than 50 per cent off four nights – all-inclusive, we might add – at the Pestana Blue Alvor Beach hotel, to plenty of options at around £280 for three nights on a self catering basis, there are Portugal deals for every budget.
You can choose to stay closer to city centres, if you like to pound the pavements and see the sights, or opt to be nearer to the beach to completely switch off for a few days. Both sound pretty dreamy to us.
6. Turkey
If Turkey has been high on your travel wishlist, there are lots of savings to be had right now. Again, prices can vary depending on the number of nights and where you're flying from, but we were delighted to discover that most are all-inclusive, saving you from having to worry about where to head out to eat or grab drinks during your stay.
Prices start at around £170 per person for three nights self catering in Marmaris or £278 for three nights all inclusive. Whether it's your first time or you've not visited in a while, we've also put together a Turkey travel guide to help you plan your visit.
7. Cyprus
Whether you're after a laid back coastal getaway in Paphos or want to experience the history and culture of Limassol, Cyprus offers you the best of both worlds. There's lots of choice when it comes to your boarding options with Tui. From self catering all the way through to the most decadent of all-inclusives, expect beachfront hotels, with a few even having swim-up rooms, as well as temperatures of around 33C in July.
We found quite a few Cyprus deals under the £400 mark, with many being better than half price if you book one of the Tui late deals.
8. Florida
If you've ever priced up a holiday to Florida, you'll know that the costs can quickly spiral out of control, which is why it could be worth checking for last minute deals to find some savings. Whether you're planning a big family holiday or you and your partner are some serious thrill-seekers, we've found a whole host of brilliant deals in Orlando.
You'll pay as little as £715 per person – down from £1,679 – to stay on the bustling International Drive, with savings on villas, self-catering apartments, resorts and at Disney and Universal Studios. Some hotels even come with their very own water parks, perfect for cooling off from the Floridian heat and spending a day away from the parks.
9. Mexico
From ancient ruins, to vibrant nightlife and gorgeous white sand beaches, you can cram a whole lot into a trip to Mexico. But if you're not sure where to stay, especially if this is your first visit, we've put together a helpful guide on the best Mexico holidays, with all our top tips.
When we had a look at Tui's late deals, we saw seven-night holidays starting from £700, instead of upwards of £1,500. Or if you want to splurge on a special getaway, the adults only Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya by Karisma is better than half price at £1,060 per person. Quite a few of the hotels even have an additional £100 off when you log into your myTui account, taking the price down even further.
10. France
The stunning French Riviera is a must for visiting in the summer. From strolling along the Promenade des Anglais to paying a visit to the Matisse Museum, which celebrates the life and work of French artist Henri Matisse, it's sure to be a laid-back kind of holiday. And you should be able to save around £30 per person on a three-night stay simply by booking it last minute with Tui.

Free upgrades are more likely to be given out at a specific time BEFORE boarding, reveals travel expert

Paying hundreds, often thousands, for a business class or better seat is unattainable for most of us - but the occasional surprise upgrade can happen. If you're dreaming of turning left instead of right on your next trip, then taking heed of an expert tip could see mission accomplished. While it's rare to be one of those lucky souls upgraded for logistical reasons such as overbooked economy cabins, says Julian Kheel, founder and CEO at Points Path, it does happen, and timing is apparently everything. The expert told Travel + Leisure that making the approach at just the right moment could see your date with a fancy lunch and a flat-bed happen. He said: 'It's nearly impossible for the average traveler to get a free upgrade to business or first-class today. [It's] extremely rare, but it does happen once in a while.' The secret is all about not making the approach at the wrong time, such as when airline staff who make the decisions on last-gasp upgrades look harassed. He says mentioning it as fellow passengers are queuing to board is almost certain to fail, and piping up just as the doors are closing is also an unwise move - but go in early with the request instead. If you have a special reason - such as a birthday or anniversary, you might be able to charm your way into an elevated cabin. Those in the know say waiting to get on the plane is one way to kill your chances - because airborne cabin crew rarely make the decisions on upgrades, even if you can see empty rows in business or first. One airline cabin crew worker shared on Reddit recently: 'At my airline, [flight attendants] are not allowed to upgrade [passengers] to first class. 'Talk to [the] gate agent or ticket agent when you check your bags. They are the ones who assign seats and can upgrade you.' They did reveal a tip that might bring out the mile-high vandal in you though, saying one of the only ways to get moved up when you're in economy is if the seat you've been sold is broken or doesn't work. The cabin crew employee wrote: 'If you're on the plane and there's something physically wrong with your seat, like a broken armrest or tray table, that can also be a reason to ask if you might be moved to a better seat up front.' Earlier this year, Dawn Morwood, co-director of Cheap Deals Away UK, revealed her top tips too, advising passengers on 'how to position yourself as a prime candidate' for a free of charge upgrade. The first tip from Dawn is simply just to ask. She told the Express: 'When you check in, smile warmly and simply ask, 'Are there any upgrade opportunities available today?' 'This phrasing is important - it's polite, direct, and shows you understand upgrades aren't guaranteed.' But the timing of this question is also just as important, says Dawn. She explains: 'Check in early, when more premium seats are likely available, but not during peak busy periods when staff are rushed. 'And always ask discreetly - never demand an upgrade in front of other passengers.' Even your clothes could also make all the difference, so Dawn recommends choosing your airport outfit very wisely – and making a bit of an effort with your appearance. She says: 'Smart-casual clothing sends a signal that you'll 'fit in' with the premium cabin environment. 'Think neat jeans or trousers, a collared shirt or nice top, and clean, decent shoes.' Telling the staff you're celebrating something like a honeymoon or big birthday could also lead to cabin crew giving you special treatment. Dawn adds: 'I've seen couples get upgraded because they mentioned their anniversary. One pair even received complimentary champagne in business class.'

Cruise ship worker reveals whether 'all-inclusive' deals are REALLY worth it

It often seems like everything is included on a cruise. But first-timers might be shocked to learn that 'all-inclusive' doesn't necessarily mean they won't face a bill at the end of their cruise. Cruise crew worker, Lucy (@cruisingascrew), has warned cruise newbies that there are lot of things that are 'not included' in the initial package. In a YouTube video called 'Cruise Mistakes First-Times Always Make (Don't be that person'), Lucy reveals: 'An all-inclusive cruise is not the same as an all-inclusive hotel on land.' So what might not included in the price of a cruise? Food Lucy says: 'Yes, your food is going to be included in your initial cruise fare'. However, if the cruise has speciality restaurants, guests will usually need to pay extra to enjoy them. First-timers might be shocked to learn that 'all-inclusive' doesn't necessarily mean they won't face a bill at the end of their cruise Speciality restaurants are often themed and aren't included in the price of the cruise holiday. This isn't the case on every cruise line, and all speciality restaurants are included on Virgin Voyages. Drinks 'Once you're onboard, you are going to be prompted to buy a drinks package,' explains Lucy. Alcoholic drinks are rarely included in the price of a cruise package and guests can either pay as they go or opt for a drinks package. A drinks package may be better value if holidaymakers are planning to drink a lot while they're away. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi may not be included as part of your cruise package, explains Lucy. It can be really expensive to use data on a cruise as guests may cross through different countries as they sail. If you're planning to use the Internet a lot while away, it might be a good idea to opt for a Wi-Fi package. Gratuities Lucy says: 'You're also going to have to pay your gratuities at the end of the cruise which is something that a lot of new cruisers get surprised by. 'They do not even know that they're going to have to pay gratuities at the end of the cruise, but you will.' Tips are usually charged at the end of the cruise so it's important to factor in this cost to the overall price of the trip. Excursions Excursions aren't compulsory on a cruise and guests can choose whether they want to explore on their own or join a tour. Lucy says: 'If you decide you want to do an excursion in one of the ports, that's going to be extra.' Holidaymakers can book excursions before their cruise and this is sometimes advised as the most popular trips can sell out.

Martin Lewis issues urgent ATM alert to all Brits on holiday

The Money Saving Expert has warned holidaymakers to be wary of a certain charge if they are planning on withdrawing cash while abroad A finance guru has urged holidaying Brits to be vigilant of superfluous charges that could leave them out of pocket. MoneySavingExpert, Martin Lewis, has highlighted that withdrawing cash abroad might set you back as much as €7 per transaction. In an age where plastic and smartphone payments are soaring in popularity, many opt to travel light, sans cash. Yet, there remain situations abroad where hard currency proves essential. ‌ Accessing funds via foreign ATMs is usually straightforward, but here's the catch – hidden fees can accriliate on each withdrawal. On his highly acclaimed website Money Saving Expert, Martin Lewis has shed light on these crafty extra costs. ‌ These fees are levied not for the currency exchange but merely for the service of obtaining your money. And these costs can fluctuate wildly between different machines. Martin cautioned: "Beware overseas ATM charges. Don't think they're all the same, and watch for scare tactics.", reports the Express. He notes the troubling trend of being charged by the machines themselves on foreign soil. "It's becoming more common for the actual cash machine to charge you when abroad. There's no way around this, but don't assume all ATMs charge the same." Martin recounted personal encounters with highly variable ATM fees from his travels. "A couple of years ago, I did a cash machine experiment when I was filming abroad, and as part of it, often found ATMs within 200m of each other with withdrawal fees ranging from €2 to €7," he declared. "While the €7 fee machines did sometimes offer better exchange rates, that's irrelevant, as you should SAY NO to the foreign bank doing the conversion - you want your UK card to do it (especially if you've a specialist card)." Do not heed the ATM's attempts to persuade you otherwise. Martin explained: "Foreign ATMs don't like that. They'll push and try to scare you to let them convert for you, with an 'are you sure?', or 'are you really sure?' if you select the option they don't want (as they make less money). ‌ "Yet still say no to currency conversion. Do that and the only thing that matters is the fee, so go for the cheapest one of those." However, his overall advice is to procure any necessary foreign currency before your trip. "In general, it's a safer bet to get cash beforehand, as you can research the very cheapest rates, but you're blind to what's out there, and especially in tourist resorts, you may find poor rates and limited competition," he concluded. "I'm not saying overseas bureaux can't undercut UK ones, but they'd need be very cheap to beat the UK's cheapest, and it'd be rare to randomly stumble on that. The exception is if you know of a specific super-cheap bureau, for example, you go to the same place every year. Then absolutely, if you know what you're doing, wait."
