Cheapflights.com launches late deals section

As part of its continuing effort to meet its viewers needs, www.cheapflights.com has introduced a Last Minute Deals section to the site. Visit www.cheapflights.com and click on the last-minute section on the navigation bar of the site's home page.

The new section includes last-minute flights and holidays. It has partnered with Last Call to offer users flights for departures within the next 48 hours, where some real bargains are available. The Flight Alert and Holiday Alert options allow viewers to hear of the best deals first by registering to receive email alerts from www.cheapflights.com.

The internet, with its ability to produce information speedily and to be updated constantly, is a perfect vehicle for viewers to research last minute bargains.

"Because we are an independent travel portal, we can select the very best providers and the juiciest deals," says David Soskin, joint-chief executive officer, www.cheapflights.com. "Our partners include some of the best names in the travel business: Thomas Cook, Dial-a-Flight, Aeroworld, Go, lastminute.com and First Net Flights. We constantly update the bargains on offer to bring cheapflights viewers a fabulous range of holiday and flight deals to destinations all over the world, from Copenhagen to Barbados, from Bangkok to New York."

Editor's Notes: www.cheapflights.com, which was founded in 1996, is the most comprehensive online resource in the UK for researching cheap airfares. Its many destination pages also enable independent travellers to research and prepare every aspect of their trip.

In August, Net Value, the market research firm, revealed that cheapflights.com is Britain's fourth biggest travel website in terms of users. More recently, the site was voted as one of the five most popular UK travel websites by a poll of Daily Telegraph readers.
