Talking Trends And Cheap Trips With LastMinuteTravel.com

When you're gearing up to hit the web and book a trip, or at least search for airfares and daydream, what travel booking site is your go-to bookmark? We've been known to use Priceline for rental cars, Kayak and CheapOair for airfare, and a myriad of sites for hotel rooms. Sure, we could stick with one and use it for everything, but each site seems to have its own specialty and they often differ in terms of cancellation policies, booking fees and the like.

So to help sort out the major differences in booking sites, we got our mitts on Lauren Volcheff, Director of Marketing over at LastMinuteTravel.com. To listen to the two major factors that LMT has going on versus other sites, check out the video above (pardon the hot jazz background--a hotel lobby isn't always the best meeting room). Still, we also gossiped a bit about travel trends.

Our chat with LastMinuteTravel.com, after the jump.
