please help to explain the meaning of the sentence below~ thx a lot~

--Last fall we got a good deal on last minute flights when we flew to California.--
I'm not certain of the meaning, I guess
1. we got cheapest flight tickets to California, because we bought them at the last minute.
2. during the flight to California, just before the plane landing, I (or we) had make a good deal with some other passengers.
which one is correct? or both are not?

thanks a lot for helping........
