February 1st, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

According to the Fare Compare website, there are numerous cheap airline flights to Europe from the United States. For instance, you can scurry from New York City to Shannon, Ireland for as low as $476 round-trip or from Los Angeles to Dublin, Ireland for $579 round-trip. You can also journey from Chicago to Stockholm, Sweden starting at $548 per person. Since vigilance is key in finding the best priced flight, you may want to sign up for Fare Compare’s updates on travel deals, so you can be sure you’ll never miss a short-term sale like this again.

The first step in finding cheap airline flights from the US to Europe is to know your hubs. As in America, different European airports are simply cheaper to fly into. For instance, flying into Frankfurt or Munich is much cheaper than flying into Berlin. Flying into London instead of Paris will also be a cheap ticket by comparison. You’ll save money flying to a major hub in Amsterdam, rather than a smaller airport in Prague. For a list of low-cost airline hubs, visit www.wikitravel.org/en/discount_airlines_in_europe.

One good place to look for cheap airline flights from the US to Europe is www.wholesaletraveler.com. You can fly from Buffalo, New York to Amsterdam, Netherlands from January 4 – 11 on Lufthansa for just $468 round-trip. Or you may want to spend a romantic Valentine’s Day weekend in Paris, France departing from New York City for $418. Spend your March spring break in Berlin, Germany, leaving from Los Angeles for $474 round-trip. Or depart from Atlanta, Georgia on your July summer vacation to Madrid, Spain for only $451 round-trip. The best flight deal can be found by calling live agents at 1-866-326-6980.

Another good site for discounted airline flights to Europe is www.vayama.com. Here you’ll find great travel deals, like Chicago to Berlin for $575 round-trip, taxes and fees included! Or you can fly round-trip from Washington to Dublin for $460. A New York to Amsterdam sale will take you there and back for $624. These travel specials and sales change all the time, so you may have to remind yourself to check for the best travel deals every week, every month or so.

Another popular site is www.travelpapa.com, which can help you combine flights and train trips to get where you need to go on-the-cheap. If your travel dates are flexible and you’d like to receive updates on fare sales to your chosen destination or leaving from your departure city, then sign up at www.airfarewatchdog.com, www.travelzoo.com or www.smartertravel.com.

Inexpensive travel depends on where you are traveling. If it is summer and you are looking for inexpensive flights to Europe, you may be out of luck. So you should definitely take the time of year into account when it comes time to book your flight.
