Fly To Europe For Under $300? Thanks Arthur

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

The web’s been abuzz this week with news that flights to Europe have been cropping up for under $300 as a result of — as Mr. Frommer postulates — the huge decline in trans-Atlantic flyers. Which, if true, means it’s only a matter of time before the airlines stop slashing fares and start slashing flights, driving prices back up (i.e. act now!).

Travelzoo’s all over Ireland for $290 (from NYC — with taxes) and pretty much the rest of Europe for $8 more (whoo-hoo dollar appreciation).

Frommer’s got the scoop for the rest of the country, with flights to Europe under $500 from the West Coast and only $310 from Houston.

TheExpeditioner’s dug up this non-Europe related gem via Air Canada: NYC — Beijing for $888 (book by March 2nd).

I’m so thinking of St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland this year . . .
