Try [http://www.skyauction.com/](http://www.skyauction.com/) the wife and I got a trip from one of their auctions once. Also give travelocity and orbitz a try. They usually have some last minute bargains. Especially if you’re not picky about where you’re going.

I doubt highly the deal is still being offered, but Condor Airlines (subsidiary of Lufthansa) was offering round-trip flights, space available, from Frankfurt to Las Vegas for 19 Euros! That is about $25.00. I am sure there was tax and airport fees tacked onto it, but still…

Condor often has a few “last minute” deals like that, so you might want to check their website.
