I wouldn't say I do spontaneous trips but I book spontaneously. I check the airfares daily so I can book a flight once a month out and I buy them all in advance. Minute the fare drops I'll buy for 2-5 months out. I currently have bookings for every month thru the end of the year so now I am looking for January and February.
escapeATX for example and other cities have them too are great way to get fares, some last minute.
I don't know if the following exists anywhere in the USA but in the Frankfurt Airport there is a non-specific airline ' last minute deals' kiosk. You pack your suitcase go to the airport walk up and find a deal out that day; usually it is the airlines who didn't fill up the seats that is leaving that day and you got wherever you can find a deal.
As to meeting up with others I am going to make a suggestion in the Member Suggestion Forum on the Main Page
