Many people I know would like to travel to Europe (who wouldn't), but the thing stopping them is money. The good news is that there are ways you can travel for cheap to Europe. I will tell you about my experience with a couple of posts.
Flights
One of the biggest expenses is the flight over to Europe from North America. I was lucky enough to find a flight for CAD$420, round-trip from Toronto to Amsterdam, all taxes included! The flight was on Air Transat, whose website is airtransat.ca The flights were decent - 2 current movies to watch on the overhead tv's on both flights, and a free meal. After traveling without meals for years, it was a welcomed surprise.
If Air Transat doesn't have any flights that work for you, I would suggest using some of the sites I wrote about in my previous blog, and searching for flights into London or Dublin, or Paris. These generally are the cheapest flights from North America into Europe. Once you are in Europe, there are many low cost carriers to get you to your destination from these 3 cities - i.e. Ryan Air or Easy Jet. I took a flight on VLM from Amsterdam to London for around CAD$80, and from Geneva to Amsterdam for $60 on Easy Jet. So there are cheap flights to be found!
