These trips can give us a lot of stress, although this will depend on the main reason why we make these trips, since a last minute work trip can be more stressful than a last minute vacation trip, but in both cases if they are not planned in an organized way despite the short time in advance it can bring us some problems.
Tips for last minute travel
Making a last minute trip can be a bit complicated depending on the date and the destination we are going to, and also the accommodation can be a bit problematic, that is why it is always advisable to plan trips at least 2 to 3 months in advance, but if you do not have that much time, here are some tips to follow to make all this much easier.
Always keep in mind the time available
One of the most important points is the time we have available both to travel and the time we spend in the destination to which we are going, if we have only 4 to 5 days in advance it is advisable to opt for a trip close to domestic destinations, if on the contrary we have 15 days or more we recommend considering international flights to have a better enjoyment and a more nourishing experience.
