Seasonal rate fluctuations and empty spaces sometimes combine for some of the best last-minute specials, and this one is a prime example. Starting from as low as $249, you can get airfare, three days' resort lodging and transfers on the sun-kissed Dominican Republic for Wednesday departures in September. Seven-night packages start from just $399 with departures out of Baltimore and Philadelphia. Expect incremental additional rates for other cities. This last minute special is being served up by the aptly named 11th Hour Vacations (864/331-1140, www.11thhourvacations.com) based out of Greenville, SC. If this deal doesn't fit your bill, we still suggest visiting them online and signing up for their convenient e-mail notifications for vacations you are interested in.
Prices bump up slightly for late September and October departures. True to it's name, these deals often sell out quickly.
