The last-minute bargains are a reaction to a cost of living crisis that is continuing to bite, meaning families have put travel arrangements on hold - until now.

But in an effort to trigger market movement in the final few weeks of the summer, operators are slashing the cost of no-frills getaways meaning outstanding value is there to be had. Today easyJet is offering seven nights bed and breakfast in the Mediterranean resort of Antalya, Turkey, for £193, while a seven-night break in Burgas on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, including flights, luggage allowance, and transfers was available for £361 - a £500 saving - with Jet2 Holidays. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
