Important Notice: LastMinuteTrips.net participates in affiliate marketing programs. We earn commissions from qualified purchases made through links on our website. This disclosure is in accordance with the FTC's 16 CFR, Part 255 requirements.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based advertising model where businesses pay publishers (like LastMinuteTrips.net) a commission for referring customers who make purchases or bookings. When you click on certain links on our website and complete a purchase, we may earn a commission from the merchant.

Does This Affect You?
No, affiliate commissions do not increase the price you pay. The price you see on our website or the partner's website is the same whether you arrive through our affiliate link or directly. Here's what you should know:
