For quite a few years now several of the so-called "budget airlines" in Europe have been embroiled in a fares war trying to offer the lowest air fares to a host of European cities. It’s not unusual to hear that one of the major low cost airlines such as Easyjet or Ryanair is offering return flights from Britain to Spain, Germany or France for £1 (approx $1.45). There could be airport landing fees and taxes to be added to that, but it’s still an absolute bargain if you’re looking to see a variety of European cities. The downside of these cheap flights is that they often make use of to the smaller local airports instead of the better known major international ones. This can mean that a flight that is advertised to a major European city actually lands up to fifty miles away. There can be some advantages with this arrangement, the municipal airports will always provide a much faster turn round on check-in and luggage because they’re servicing a much smaller number of flights. The downside is that transportation to and from these airfields can be scrappy at best and a very popular option is to hire a car from the airport. The following are some of the wonderful cities that we’ve visited with flights from the budget airlines. We are confident that you’d enjoy a visit to any of these fine areas, without doubt they have a lot to offer to visitors to their shores.
