Yesterday, we took a look at some airfare deals from the US to Europe. Today we are taking on the European airlines – focusing on the budget flyers. There’s a huge fleet of them operating all over the continent with the majority of them based out of the UK. This is a no frills way […]

Dreaming of a fall or winter European adventure? Many airlines are now offering sales from the US to a variety of destinations throughout Europe. If you live on the East Coast, you’ll always have a cheaper flight and more choices - but if you have frequent flyer miles, use them to get you to […]

If you are planning a multi-country trip to Europe, how do you plan to get around? Flying is quicker, but you’ve got airport hassles and it’s not environmentally friendly. Hopping a train is the typical way to do Europe, but it takes longer and can be more confusing. It’s much more eco-conscious, but sometimes more […]

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 […]

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 […]
