Cheap last minute flight deals...

[piggynose]

has anyone had any luck with this possibility? i ask because i was talking to a colleague the other day, and he reckons he´s been lucky a couple of times, by just booking a flight with ryanair about 12 hours before take off and got it really cheap.
I ´ve never had any luck with lastminute.com. maybe its because thats what you have to do on a regular basis, until you get lucky.

It`s very hit and miss. I`ve only travelled with Ryanair once and I paid £125. I booked in advance. I heard the people behind me on the aircraft say they booked a week before and paid £9.99. I was a bit hacked off. If an aircraft is empty the airlines do have "sales" and you could get a good deal but you`ve got to be quite flexible and it`s a bit risky if you want a long haul flight.

I've some advise for you on how to find cheap flight deals. If you book tickets 2 or 3 months advance then more likely you will get cheap flight deals. If you also buy tickets at the cheapest days or cheapest times then you may get low cost flight..I use some sites to find cheap international tickets like http://www.theflightdeal.com, http://www.secretflying.com/usa-deals/, http://www.studentuniverse.com, http://www.hopper.com, http://www.skyscanner.com. Hope it helps!
