Tips to Get Cheap Low Airfare to Europe

Traveling to Europe seems to be a vacation that everyone wants to do at one time in their life. It is a great place for just about any type of trip including your honeymoon, spring break, or just to visit to experience the history and cultures of the different countries. For many people though taking a European vacation is dependent on one thing; money. And once you’ve saved enough to make your dream vacation come true the last thing you want to do is spend too much on your airline tickets. Fortunately you can get cheap low airfare to Europe if you know where to look.

The first thing you need to do to take advantage of low airfares to Europe is to be flexible. Airlines generally offer cheaper fares if you choose to travel in the middle of the week and stay over a weekend.  Most ticket discounts are offered on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday and if you return on those same days you can also see more savings.

Another tip is to travel off-season when the airlines are offering bigger price reductions to fill empty seats. Off-season can vary depending on where you wish to travel but it is a good time to save some money on travel costs.

The internet can also be a good place to find cheap airline tickets to Europe. There are thousands of travel sites out there but if you narrow your search to sites that specialize in European travel or even to particular countries you stand a good chance of finding discount airfares. Many of these region or country specific sites have the low down on all sorts of travel discounts to that particular destination you are interested in.

You can also contact the airlines directly and simply ask what sort of European travel deals they are currently offering. The best time to call is just after midnight because this is when their database of ticket prices are updated and the lowest airfares are sold off on a first come first serve basis. It can also be worth contacting those airlines that serve a particular region or country as they will often have lower prices then many of the larger carriers.

These are a few of the many ways to get cheap low airfare to Europe. The internet provides a wealth of information on this subject but it does take some research and digging to find the best deals. But once you learn these secret airfare deals are possible you’ll be able to travel cheaper then the person in the seat next to yours.

    Cheap airfare to eastern europe?
    I live in the USA, around D.C (so airports- Washington Dulles, BWI, JFK, any of those are good departure points), but all of my family is in Lithuania in Eastern Europe.

    I visited them last year and in 2008 I would love to visit them again. My only problem is airfare is so expensive. Last year I paid $1,300 a person (myself, my wife, and son).

    Does anybody have any tips? I know I should be flexible with dates and airports and I am. I want to departe in the summer-June or July and stay for about 4 weeks.

    Anybody have a travel agent they would like to recommend or a secret website, insted of orbitz,kayak, travelocity, etc.
    Would it be better for me to book in 2007 or would it be better to book 6-8 weeks prior in 2008?

    They are many reliable travel agencies in DC. Just go to them instead trying to get ripped off from the on-line ones.

    It’s just that June and July are two of the most expensive months to travel transatlantic. Sometimes, it’s a little cheaper if you can depart in early June.

    You need to try airfare consolidators. They specialise in discounted international flights, and are often cheaper that other sources in peak season. You can check consolidators, and specials from the airlines, using http://www.bookingbuddy.com — pay special attention to Mobissimo and AllCheapFares when you search with Bookingbuddy.

    Also, consider going on 2 tickets: 1 to Copenhagen, for example, then separate ticket to Vilnius. Icelandair from BWI is often cheap(er) to Scandinavia into early June. You can sign up for their specials at http://www.icelandair.com Also, consider flying to one of these first: http://www.whichbudget.com/en/cheapflights.php?from=VNO … then switch to LAL or Air Baltic on a separate ticket. Sometimes this is significantly cheaper.

    Finally, Lufthansa has decent fares targeted to specific audiences. I don’t hear them advertised much: http://www.weflyhome.com
