This is a two for one folks…save time AND money. I know, it’s hard to believe. Night trains (or buses) are something to consider for a number of reasons. If you are moving about Europe, transporting yourself takes up valuable sightseeing hours. Annoyingly enough, you will need to sleep at some point. And not […]
You know how it is when you see that excellent within your budget Internet airfare to Europe in the newspaper, a magazine or online and you instantly morph into holiday mode - already mentally packing your suitcase and thumbing through the guidebook. Then reality comes crashing down when you actually attempt to book that […]
I flew AirBerlin (from Munich to Berlin and back) a couple weeks ago, and overall found the experience pretty good. For a low-cost airline, AirBerlin’s service was very pleasant and efficient.
Seats are not assigned at ticket purchase, but rather when you check in. Online check-in opened at 6:00 PM the evening before my flights, and […]
With the low-cost airline boom in Europe, it’s pretty easy to hop on a plane and explore a new part of the continent. But that doesn’t mean train travel is a thing of the past - not by a long shot. Europe’s rail network is still a fabulous way to get around. Here are just […]
As someone who has been stuck at the Athens airport during a strike just like today’s, I understand how frustrating it can be. No flights, trains, ferries, subways, buses… and a queue for a taxi that extends farther than you can see. Here are a few tips I’d have for someone in the same situation:
Relax. […]
I think Orbitz was the first online travel site I ever booked through, years and years ago, but recently it has been frustrating me. Not quite enough to keep me away when their fares pop up as the lowest on Kayak or Sidestep, though. I usually end up booking plane tickets through Orbitz at least […]
Airberlin is one of the European “no-frills” airlines which has started offering flights between the US and Europe for great low prices. Currently Airberlin is featuring especially low rates between New York and Germany for the month of April 2008, with a one-way ticket as low as US$282 (including taxes and fees). See Airberlin’s website […]
Berlin is a city full of transportation options: U-Bahns (subways), S-Bahns (city trains), buses and trams await to whisk you across this giant metropolis in one integrated network. For around 6 euros you can purchase a day ticket and use as much of the transportation system as you like.
While the underground options are the most […]
I just booked a quick and painless round-trip ticket from Munich to Zurich for 62 euros using Deutsche Bahn’s website. Deutsche Bahn is Germany’s national train company, and their DB logo is a familiar site for travelers in this country. This low fare was available for the fastest trains (with seat reservations), and I didn’t […]
I’m headed back to Europe today (yippee!).
I try to book direct flights whenever I can, but sometimes connections are hard to avoid. At times there’s just no direct route; other times adding a stopover will greatly decrease the cost of a ticket. So I cross my fingers and hope for the best.
Unfortunately for me, I […]
