Transatlantic Low-Fare Flights
July 30th, 2007 Posted in Cheap Europe Travel, Travel bargainsI spent the weekend slogging through travel magazines stacked under my coffee table, flipping past fluff and looking for useful articles. Here’s a good one that has made it online from National Geographic Traveler, Transatlantic Low-Fare Jets.
It runs down the players now crossing the Atlantic more cheaply, giving the scoop on Eurofly, Flyglobespan, Air Plus Comet, and Condor. Unfortunately, “the savings aren’t always mind-blowing.” These airline are prone to quote prices without taxes and in some cases the traditional carriers offer a better deal - plus you’ll earn frequent flyer miles, which is worth something when you’re flying that far. Some of their best rates are in business class, where they are competing not only with the regular carriers, but with biz-class only ones like Eos and MaxJet. As always, it pays to shop around at budget sites and with a comparison site like BookingWIZ.
The article recommends checking LowCostAirlines.org to find who serves what route, but it’s a whole lot easier to navigate WhichBudget.com.
