Anyone hear of any deals recently for travel to Zurich in the next few months or have a suggestion for best times to go ??($ wise)... Flying from Boston, MA, USA....signed, Lynn, the Master's student with no money, but overwhelming passion for travel....

The following website list the lowest fares going out of Boston. Frequents checks should give you a good idea of price/destinations price fluctuations. <BR> http://www.lowestfare.com/lowestfare...ls/boston.html <BR> <BR>Icelandair, Aer Lingus, and TWA have good international prices out of Boston. Planning on Stockholm out of Boston next March; Frankfurt Sept 2K.

Lynn---- I just remembered about an option I heard about that you may want to consider. Is called to "hitch" a flight with Airhitch (www.airhitch.org). First, you register and prepay the flight, specifying your departure city, three acceptable destination cities in Europe (typical fare: $300 RT), and a "date range" of five or more days. Airhitch gives you a "call-in date," typically the Wednesday before your date range. When you call, the Airhitch office gives you a list of upcoming flights and your odds of getting a seat on each. For any flight that you like, you go to the airport a few hours before departure, where an Airhitch representative handles the boarding. Although it's essentially a standby process, Airhitch claims a high rate of success in getting travelers to their preferred destinations. If no flight meets your needs, I was told you can extend your date range. <BR> <BR>The phone number for Airhitch in New York is (was?) 1-800-326-2009. <BR> <BR>Has anybody ever used/tried them?
