Orlando, FL, August 1, 2004 -- Stop overpaying for travel! Just in time for summer, LastMinuteTravel.com is bigger, better and cheaper. The superstore for last-minute travel deals has marked down prices for hotels, airfares, vacation packages and cruises. In addition, it has eliminated airline booking fees, saving consumers up to five dollars on the purchase price of each airline ticket.
“It’s just crazy to shop anywhere else for travel,” says Uri Argov, president, LastMinuteTravel.com. “We’ve scoured the world to find the best travel deals and bring them to consumers at prices that are often 80% less than retail. We believe that everyone deserves a great vacation, and LastMinuteTravel.com’s commitment is to provide the best quality trip for the best price,” adds Argov.

All prices are well below retail and feature the lowest available rates at that point in time. The site’s dynamic nature means that travel deals move quickly through the site. As new deals come available they are added to the inventory on a daily basis, but as deals sell out they are eliminated. “Like any smart shopper knows -- when you see what you want you should pounce on it. Because the deals are so good, they go quickly,” explains Argov.
