Holiday prices have been slashed by up to 50 per cent for a post-Brexit trip to Europe.
Cut-price package deals are on offer after the October 31 deadline to tempt tourists still worried about No Deal travel chaos.
Experts also say European destinations are desperate to fill bookings lost by the collapse of holiday giant Thomas Cook.
The biggest savings are in Portugal, where the average price of a holiday to the Algarve in November is down 50 per cent year on year
Package holiday prices for early next month are now up to 50 per cent cheaper than the same time last year – with bargains available in the Algarve, Costa Blanca, Vienna and Florence, according to comparison site TravelSupermarket.
Bargains include a four-star B&B break in Prague for £95pp, and a week’s three-star self-catering on the Costa Blanca for £127pp.
On average, a trip to Florence is now 42 per cent cheaper, Milan 29 per cent, Madrid 21 per cent and Venice 13 per cent.

Travelsupermarket spokesman Emma Coulthurst said: ‘There are some really good-value package holiday prices, which you wouldn’t normally see so close to departure.’
Prices are also falling further afield, with a seven-night package to Dubai down 11 per cent on last year.
Travel expert Frank Brehany said the collapse of Thomas Cook was also driving prices down as ‘many hotels are empty’.
