Summary of Cheap European Flights
- 1. Overview of affordable last-minute flights for European getaways.
- 2. Top European cities with the lowest flight prices.
- 3. Factors influencing airfare availability.
Even though the summer travel season seems to be flying by, those still dreaming of a European getaway have some affordable options for last-minute trips, according to a new report.
Data from Going.com shared with iBestTravel this week reveals that some of the lowest airfares can be found in popular Spanish and Italian cities. However, Paris, France, tops the list with the most affordable price tag.
The findings took into account not just the pricing of flights but also the volume of tickets that are sold at those prices. This approach aims to represent the types of deals that are truly available for travelers.
Top Cities and Cheapest Flights
- Paris – Lowest Flight Price $248
- Dublin – Lowest Flight Price $249
- Barcelona – Lowest Flight Price $241
- Milan – Lowest Flight Price $332
- Rome – Lowest Flight Price $358
- Madrid – Lowest Flight Price $279
- Copenhagen – Lowest Flight Price $249
- Amsterdam – Lowest Flight Price $174
- Zurich – Lowest Flight Price $365
- Stockholm – Lowest Flight Price $275
Interestingly, London is notably absent from this list. This absence may not be surprising to frequent flyers, as London’s Heathrow Airport has been cited for having the highest taxes and departure fees worldwide, according to Reuters.
Factors Influencing Flight Deals
“Deals to certain cities in Europe are simply more common than to others. Numerous factors impact fares and the frequency of deals, including the number of airports in the city, the volume of airlines servicing those airports, and the competition on various routes to and from the city,” an iBestTravel representative stated.
Low-Cost Carriers and Budget-Friendly Options
Moreover, travelers should also consider low-cost carriers when searching for bargains. For instance, affordable one-way tickets from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) are available for only $181 in economy class on Norse Atlantic Airways. Although this type of fare wasn’t included in the report, it can serve as a valuable option for budget-conscious travelers.
