Book Day-Of Travel Bargains with Last Minute Travel Deals

Last Minute Travel, a leader in day-of travel deals on hotels, flights, vacation homes, cruises, car rentals and other travel activities and products, launched a redesigned Deals app to offer users more convenience while shopping for bargains.

The upgraded app includes a number of new handy features, such as a useful view that simultaneously displays both a convenient list and map of search results, allowing users to customize the split view by dragging the map and list to their desired size.

“When travelers are spontaneously looking for the best deal in a specific place, they don’t want to toggle between screens to see a map and a list of deals,” said Omer Chehmer, head of mobile communications, Last Minute Travel. “People want to see where hotels or car rental pick-ups are located, while also accessing a list of offerings that can be sorted based on price, star rating or TripAdvisor reviews.  Our newly redesigned app enables this functionality — and more.”

The refreshed Last Minute Travel Deals app also offers an upgraded homepage, directing users to statistically relevant search content based on their location. With this new feature, the app instantly provides nearby day-of hotel rooms, allowing users to quickly book a last-minute hotel room.

“We’ve listened carefully to our users and looked hard at their usage in order to arrive at these enhancements to our app,” Chehmer said.  “LMT has always had the best travel deals, but it was taking people too many clicks to find exactly what they wanted. Now, we’re able to quickly deliver inventory that is more relevant to what the user is looking for — in a single, convenient view.”

Separate from the homepage, the app offers an expansive inventory of deals for more than 120,000 hotels in more than 4,500 cities; flights from more than 175 carriers around the world; more than 25,000 vacation homes; approximately 10,000 activities and transfers; and 25,000 car rental pick-up locations worldwide. These exclusive deals offer a savings of at least 40 percent off retail.
