Now, what happens if that uber cheap ticket only got you to Barcelona when you should be in Madrid for your Spanish cooking classes? No Worries...aside Travelzoo there exists Skyscanner. Within seconds after searching a flight between BCN & MAD, Skyscanner presents a list of $100 flights with lesser known but equally as dependable airlines such as Spanair or Iberia. Or lets say you want to get to Edinburgh, Scotland right after Christmas. Instead of paying average $4,000 round trip airfare from Washington DC, for example, you could use Travelzoo to get to London at $700 and from London to Edinburgh with Skyscanner at a price of $112. Total fees included with help from these special agencies can typically save you around 50% off normal rates. Like Travelzoo, Skyskanner has an app available to mobile phones for easy access on the go! http://www.skyscanner.com/
Ahhh, Europe....Everyone wants to go but not everyone wants to pay. I am always searching for the best deals to help me land my next greatest adventure, be that in Spain, Greece, Italy, or even Australia! The good news is that you CAN find reasonable airfares to Europe on Travelzoo.com Travelzoo provides the best entertainment deals in your local area as well as affordable travel options as far as accommodations and transportation goes. Now, airfare to Europe will always be at its peak in the summer BUT there are ALWAYS fantastic last minute prices coming up through Travelzoo if you're willing to play it a bit more risky. Fall and Spring prices are going to be significantly lower. I frequently get updates on $200 (each way) flights to Milan, London, Paris, and Rome (just to name a few) in the months between September and mid-December. The same goes for early Spring which will be great for those who are up for attending Culinary Quests' Fabulous Flavors of Florence, Italy Program beginning in March 2012. Travelzoo is a great website for helping you to find the cheapest airfares to numerous destinations around the world. All you need to do is go to the site and sign up with an email address and you could be in Tuscany before you finish saying Arrivederci!!
