A last-minute package deal with the cheapest available hotel can sometimes be cheaper overall — you fly on the package price, then book your preferred accommodation separately.

Tour operators often have negotiated discounts on mid-range and upscale hotels that are hard to match when booking directly. Always compare the package price against direct booking for 3–5 star hotels.
