Hello! Thought I would give a quick snapshop of late Fall and Early Winter Cheap Travel to Europe.
I don't see any offers that I can't pass up right now.
Yes, Virgin Atlantic came up advertising some "cheap travel" but the taxes and exchange rate from dollar to pound right now are apparently not helping and I got rates of over $600 USD between London and New York! They are advertising for about $250, but when you read it, that's one way (I know, I know, it's called marketing). Made me look.
The fares look more friendly in the Spring. I found rates between Chicago and Vienna (right into the heart of Europe!) for $617 on United Tuesday to Tuesday. Spring break anyone? This is cheap travel into Central Europe, especially when you consider that Aer Lingus from Chicago to Dublin for those dates is $567, which makes it seem like a flight from UK to the mainland for just $50!!
These rising rates may push more people to start using their credit cards to rack up frequent flier miles and try to get free tickets! Remember when the fuel prices were so high and air fares went up? Well, oil went back down a bit but the airfares haven't. =)
