If you've got spring fever, and you're looking for a spur-of-the-moment getaway, then you're going to want to hop on these last-minute Easter 2019 travel deals. While there's something to be said for planning a far-off vacation that you can spend months looking forward too, going on a last-minute trip also has its benefits. "So many people talk about how fun it is to look forward to a trip. And how they can’t wait until their departure because it is going to be so amazing. But if you are constantly looking toward that next trip, or another shiny object in the future, you can’t really live in the moment," travel blogger Kaley Ann said on her website.

What's more, booking late often means getting killer deals on undersold hotels, flights, and rental cars. "There is a good chance that you could save a lot of money by booking last-minute travel deals. Hotels often have last-minute deals if they are trying to sell any remaining rooms. And since you are booking so close to your departure date, you can avoid paying extra for the flexible rate that allows cancellations or changes," Kaley Ann noted. I've gone on a few last-minute getaways, and those trips ended up being some of the best vacays I've ever had. If you've got some serious wanderlust, check out these last-minute travel deals for Easter 2019, grab your squad, and get the hell out of dodge.
