Flying to Europe this July & finding better fares to London
So my wife and I want to vacation in Europe this summer, likely in July. I went to Kayak.com and did some searching, but haven't found any really good deals. If you're curious, here are the airfares I dug up (all non-stop):
JFK - London on Air India is $789
JFK - Amsterdam on Delta is $1031
JFK - Rome on Alitaia is $841
JFK - Madrid on Iberia is $955
JFK - Barcelona on Delta is $1080
JFK - Prague on Czech Air as CSA is $1275
So it looks like Londond is the place to be in Europe (except that hotels there are expensive). We could always fly into London and then take the train somewhere else. This list of UK travel brochures also has some good ideas. From tours of Londond to British Gran Prix stuff, there are lots of brochures you can get for free. I'll probably request at least the "14 Day Scotland & Ireland Castles & Pubs Discovery Tour".
