Search & Buy American Airlines Last Minute Flights

What are Last Minute Flights?

Last minute flights are flights purchased close to the departure date and time of the flight. Last minute flights are usually brought a few days or weeks before the departure date, but sometimes they can be bought on the day of the flight. These flights usually take place when someone needs to travel due to emergency circumstances. Although last minute flights don't guarantee cheaper flights, some last minute flights can be cheaper as airlines want to fill the empty seats on the plane.

At Alternative Airlines, the majority of our e-tickets are sent to you instantly or within 2 hours via email. Please note, when booking last minute flights, in some cases it might take up to 24 hours to receive your e-ticket.
