How To Get Cheap European Flights

One of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to travel, particularly in Europe, is that it has to be expensive.  There are ways to travel around the world without breaking the bank, you just have to keep an eye out for deals and have a little bit of flexibility.  One of the best ways of getting cheap airfares is by signing up for the newsletters of various budget airlines.  By doing this you will be able to be aware of incredibly cheap airfare deals that certain airlines offer from time to time.  One such airline is Aer Lingus, which is based out of Ireland, I have seen deals on average of about $200 USD for airfare from the cities of Chicago, New York City, and Boston to various European hubs like Paris, Rome, or London.  Once you are in Europe itself its best to switch over to other budget carriers like EasyJet and Ryanair which can offer incredibly cheap offers from time to time.  I have seen Easy Jet prices as low as one pound for a flight from London to Barcelona.  There are however, some downsides to these deals.  The conditions in budget carriers tend to be very cramped and tend to offer much less amenities than their more expensive cousins.  Also in order to get the really low deals there are usually very specific conditions such as very narrow travel windows and limited number of seats at that price.  That is the reason why it is best if you are planning a trip across Europe to both plan ahead and pay close attention to the deals they offer.  In the end if you are willing to put in a little planning, work, and be flexible with conditions and prices you can let yourself travel longer and more often with the same budget.
