Airfare
Hello family,
Though it is only February it is time to start seriously looking at airfare! Prices to Europe always go up about $400 or more after April 1. Booking no later than March 15 is probably a really good idea.
We mentioned earlier the possibility of group airfare discounts. However, after talking to everyone it sounds like lots of people have travel plans in addition to Denmark. Unless at least 16 out of 20 people all intend to have the exact same travel route from beginning to end the group discount won't work. So, it will be best for everyone to work on their own travel arrangements.
Discounted Airfare website suggestions:
A good site that I have found is 1800flyeurope.com. Travelocity.com with the flexible option used to be the best, but they have discontinued the flexible option on international travel so it is very rarely the best site for airfare purchases anymore. Another good site is travelzoo.com. This site allows you to search multiple discounted airfare sites at once. (Be sure and choose the flexible date option! Prices are almost always less than when you choose the exact date option.) If you intend to do more travel in Europe another good site is www.icelandair.com. With Iceland Air, be sure to go to the website and get the phone number and call! For some reason the website quotes way high prices, but when you just call an agent it's always a lot cheaper and they're usually very helpful.)
If anyone finds a really great deal go ahead and post a comment on the blog or email and let everyone know where to look. Good luck finding some cheap tickets!!!
