A lastminute is a product of last minute, that is, a product whose date of departure is close to their date of purchase. In general, the lastminute products, which have validity date of only 15 days after the date of its offer on the site.


Uncheck all meetings the next day and be alert to deals of last-minute trips and exclusive. You may have to make the bags to take the last seats on a flight to the Red Sea, diving in the Caribbean or even depart to Brazil.


The trip in Europe that are bought almost the same day are cheaper! Offered by travel agents, this is a kind of package tour that has generally lower price when purchased a few days before the flight, with the goal of reducing the number of empty seats on the plane.


You just need to check on a last minute agency. The difference is that in those places you have to board in less than 48 hours, see:


http://www.lastminute.com/ - Good for packages and last-minute flights


How about doing an escape of one week in paradisiacal beach of Pipa in northeastern Brazil by ... 400 euro? Or go to Cuba, Mexico and the Dominican Republic on an "all inclusive" at a price at around 600 euros? Yes, it is possible. But only for those being attentive to the shop windows of travel agents and is willing to leave on vacation the following day. The "last minute" is a modality that is permanently installed in the market and that tour operators make frequently

Unfortunately these two sites I mentioned are not in Portuguese and do not have any Portuguese airport as a departure city so us Portuguese Travelers still have to rely on travel agencies, all of them have last minute offers but few of them with internet based buy.

Discover Dubai




I’ve always been fond of Dubai, not that I ever been there but because I always heard great things about the country and I’ve seen TV news and reports about how beautiful it is all that.Nowadays people are looking more and more for distinguished places to travel and to visit and for those who have the money Dubai it’s it. Lots of wealth, lots of sea, sun, and sand, lots of entertainment and different activities and for that reason people are traveling more and more to Dubai. Imagine that they’ve even built a city with snow. Under those high temperatures that built a Mountain under some iron looking like a sky resort with all activities regarding snow.I Like Dubai and maybe one day I can afford visiting it.

London Travel



Wondering what it would be like to travel around Europe with small children? Start by traveling in London- this historic city has plenty to offer for both kids and parents alike!
All the major museums are free, so money is not lost even if you can just squeeze in an hour of your child’s attention span for art. The British Museum is huge and almost impossible to see in one day, but focusing on specific areas your child might be interested in cuts down on time. The mummies in the Egypt exhibit are sure to please, as will the British Museum’s family features such as the Hamlyn family trails through the museum or the free activity backpacks with puzzles, games and activities to do through the galleries.
The Tate Modern and Britain also offer family-fun activities. Modern Art is also incredibly accessible by everyone - while you might not get the artist’s point of the lobster phone, suspended basketballs in a fish tank, etc, these pieces are sure to spurn family discussions. The boat ride between the two galleries is also a fun way to see London from the Thames River. These boats leave about every forty minutes at each gallery and cruise along the river between the two galleries stopping at the London Eye in route. There are family discounts for boat fares and children under five ride for free; this boat ride is also considerably less expensive than other Thames cruises ( £10 for families compared to £24 on other cruises).
Other fun family museum destinations include The Victoria and Albert museum, where children can quite literally play dress up in the old world clothing. For the older children or adults who are children at heart, the James Bond spy exhibit will delight all. For animal lovers, you cannot go wrong with the Natural History Museum or the London Zoo. Whether seeing the animals in the museum including the gigantic woolly mammoth and dinosaurs or live and in-person at the world’s oldest zoo, both activities are fun for the whole family.

To get outside, you can walk toward Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard every day at 11:00 am. Another quick stop for Harry Potter fans is Kings Cross Station for a quick picture at platform 9 ¾. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are great for running around. Bring a loaf of bread to feed the ducks along the serpentine or play in the Princess Diana Princess of Wales’ Memorial playground. Another break from museums is riding the London Eye—essentially a giant Ferris wheel operated by British Airways, this thirty-minute ride is one of the best aerial views of London.
If the kids (or adults!) are not too tired by the end of the day, the famous West End theater district has shows that are kid friendly. Billy Elliot, Wicked, High School Musical, The Lion King are just some of the kid-friendly productions in London’s famous theater district.
