A Fall Breakthrough for those seeking Cheap Travel to Europe

Are prices to Europe FALLing this Autumn? Perhaps.

Greetings, fellow travelers and bargain hunters! A little Saturday morning stroll through the airfares presents a nice opportunity I thought I would pass on.

Looking first of all for a one of our Gateway Cities, I decided on Chicago. My in-laws live there (and I like them, so that's a positive thing, not a negative one!) and can drop me off.

Arrival city: One of my faves since Ryanair will be waiting on the other side to get me to most of Europe: Dublin.

So Chicago to Dublin.

November 11-21st on Delta, there are flights (through NYC) for a very reasonable price of (drumroll):

Total airfare, taxes and fees: $ 570.30

This one is on Delta and got it on Orbitz (no I'm still not getting any love from them for sharing this). Delta might do it directly on their website, too. Didn't check (it's Saturday!)

Now go find yours!

Note added September 26. Several airlines have joined the fray. Just saw ORD-DUB for $560 with taxes on US Airways!! Dates were Nov. 10-18, which might account for the price difference. Still, not bad!

Weekend Getaway September 2010 Cheap Travel in Europe

The seasons for cheap travel to Europe are quickly approaching. OK. Actually, they are HERE. That's right. Any season except summer is a good time to find cheap travel to Europe

So I am looking for a couple good weekend getaways. I would like to go for around 100 EURO roundtrip... Assuming I'm already in Europe.

The first one to catch my eye is Easy Jet between London and Split Croatia. My dates are September 23-26, 2010. The price with Luggage is 224 EURO and it's in and out of Gatwick, which is preferable anyway. Still a little bit too much of the money.

Let's see. .cheap travel to Europe is what I am looking for. Aren't you?

BUT if you are willing to go RyanAir and go out of Stansted (which might be difficult), AND go to Zadar instead of Split (somehow I've got Croatia on my mind), you can go for just 110 GBP. If you are doing the roundtrip from Zadar to London during our dates (actually they don't fly Tues and Thurs, so 24th-26th). Interesting if I were already in Zadar and just wanted to go to London for the weekend, the price is only 95 EUROs. They are making more off the British!

I'm not that satisfied with these... are you?

Cheapest flights from the midwest to Europe

So I just looked up cheapest flights from Chicago this fall. I am not satisfied with what I found to the mainland. Not satisfied. Germany is coming in around $700 with all the taxes. Some flights start at $308 but add the taxes/fees and their more than the ones that start around $450! Buyer beware!

Finding cheap travel to Europe won't be easy right now.

But my old standby, Dublin, is also close to 700 at 687 USD. SO I guess the prices are just not really cheap right now. So... depending where you're going... go into the mainland. Or better yet, wait for some better prices! "Fall"ing prices hopefully soon this autumn!
