Here are some tips for finding last-minute Labor Day travel deals:

* As Labor Day gets closer, periodically check out
LastMinute.com – a wonderful web property that focuses exclusively on last minute getaways and deals.

* Tell your friends. Spread the word that you’re looking for a last-minute Labor Day getaway deal. They might know someone else who isn’t going to be able to make theirs, and connect the two of you. They also may have heard of other getaways you haven’t.

* Check for seat sales. Airlines often have last-minute deals for travelers on some of their flights. If you’re flexible as to where you travel to, you may be able to fly there at a much cheaper rate than normal. You may not be able to travel on the exact date or at the exact time you want to, but if you can pick up a seat sale, you can travel for a lot less than you normally would.

* Call your local airlines to find out if they have any sales and what their destinations are.  Your savings on the flight could mean you have more money to spend on fun once you get there.

* Read the newspaper ads. If your local newspaper has a travel section, start scanning it for ads for cheap travel packages. As Labor Day approaches, you might start seeing some of these. When you find one you like, be sure to book it right away as they are usually booked quickly by other savvy frugal travelers.

* Call your favorite hotel chain. They might have a sale on room bookings. Call and see if they have any special sales on for Labor Day. Again, you might not be able to be picky about where you go, but the savings could make it all worthwhile.

Finding last minute vacations deals is a snap when you have a little know-how (and an internet connection.)

Using the internet is one of the top ways to save money on your next trip. Not only will you find some of the cheapest travel prices available, but it can be smarter than booking months in advance where if your plans change, you are out all that money.

Here are a few last minute vacation deal  tips to help you save a serious amount of cash:

#1) Book your trip 1-2 days prior to leaving

Many people  think you need to book months in advance to save money, but this is not always the case. Airlines and hotels don’t like empty seats and rooms, so they often lower the prices for short-term travel if they have vacancies.

Where should you book?
Orbitz , Expedia and Travelocity are great places to start.
Orbitz coupons are here

Travelocity Coupons are here

LastMinute.com is a Travelocity web property that specializes in last minute vacation deals. The site is easy to navigate and offers fantastic last minute vacation deals:

#2) Get on travel sites’ email lists

Of course, the first thing you’ll want to do is to ubscribe to Susies-Travel-Coupons RSS feed.  Or browse our Susies-Travel-Coupons “Deals by Destination” blog. We’ll post even last minute vacation deals here.

If you have a favorite travel website, make sure you are on email update list. Follow the site on Twitter and join their Facebook page, as well These companies will often send you last-minute deals. And don’t forget about the airlines themselves. Getting on their mailing list is another great way to find the top deals.

While this can offer great savings, you may have to be ready to go at a moment’s notice, and you often need to be flexible about the location as well. If you are completely flexible, though, you can often save a lot money because you’ll have less competition for some of these last minute deals.

Spontaneity in your travels can be fun. You’ll be forced to keep your planning to a minimum as you claim the deal – and leave.

#3) Do not go during peak times

Avoiding the weekends is your best bet. Consider going off-season as well. In most instances the fall, spring and early winter are the least busy times.

One of the best travel dates is the first week of December, because this is the time the fewest people travel.
