June Europe Trip
« on: March 07, 2010, 09:42:23 PM »
I am planning a trip to Europe for the month of June. I already have places to stay in Paris, London and Barcelona. My main location will be Barcelona.
Where can I find good airfare?
What should I not miss out on?
Where would be the best place to fly to from NY? ( Again, my main spot will be Barcelona)
Any additional tips?

Runtime error 10111001100: Too many possible options....


Are you alone? with other bochrim, with wife + kids? there are lots of ways to do it.

Give me your time frame: when you said "for the month of June" I wasn't clear whether the whole month or just during June a couple of days.

If will you be staying a month in Europe, I'd suggest using a train pass (compare both the passes bought from the USA and the ones bought in Europe).

Will you do the backpacking way or more city-trip style?

Elaborate a little please, I've traveled both ways: From a 1 month trip starting in Belgium visiting with the train Italy, Slovenia, Greece, Turkey, to end up in Israel, having spend around $950 in total, all inclusive. (yes its possible: we left a trail of depressed or suicidal people behind us, as an immediate result of our soft, considerate and diplomatic bargaining....)  to First/business trips with stopovers and stays in decent hotels.

Just a thought: if you make it an even number, it will be better for hotels. (if possible off course).

We haven't bought tickets yet but we want to spend 4 weeks there. We want to leave around June 10 but we are very flexible. We want to do a city style trip.

Those destinations sound more like a oneworld thing.

I'd say aa/ba to london, ba to paris, iberia to barcelona, and aa/iberia back to nyc.

I would not do it with AA, as they charge extra for stops that are longer then 24h.

has anyone a OW partner that goes easier on this.

To randomness123: try replying faster, as some people liturally lose the thread if you wait a couple of days before replying.
