Ashley Gelber said yes to Wall Street Journal editors when asked to draft an article about last-minute travel. She describes a scenario most of us imagine when contemplating last-minute travel as “hurriedly tossing clothing in a suitcase, hustling to the airport, and constructing an itinerary at the drop of a hat.”
If just reading this raises your blood pressure, consider going with the flow. According to Gelber’s research, “spur-of-the-moment travel is no longer a product of necessity—it’s actively sought out.” According to Google Trends data, searches for last-minute flights have nearly doubled since 2023, and airline search site Skiplagged reports that “U.S.-based searches for flights departing within 48 hours rose 20% from July 2024 to July 2025.”
What’s going on?
This last-minute travel phenomenon has cultural and economic roots. Gelber finds that young travelers “are more comfortable booking spontaneously and traveling flexibly, while economic pressures—rising costs, uncertainty, and value-seeking behavior” reflect a near-obsession with deals. This trend isn’t slowing down soon, say industry experts who believe that the influence of social media is contributing, too. This begs the question: Where are last-minute travel fans going?
