I would love to take my best friend on a short vacation (3-5) days in beginning of June somewhere in Europe (I know short notice). We will be going to colleges far apart next year and would love to do something before then. I was wondering if anyone knows of package deals or just inexpensive trips that we could take. Not too picky and anywhere in Europe will do (east, west or central) Any help is great. Thank you!

Where are you leaving from?

From the UK, there are lots of cheap packages listed on lastminute.com From the US, you might try go-today.com (City Breaks.) There are also short-notice vacation packages listed on:

Have a great time!

Check Travelzoo.com. They are listing some great deals for the summer to Europe. They list deals from around the Web.

If you live close enough to one of their US gateway cities, British Airways has a super special right now that might be just right for you. But you have to book your tickets by midnight *tomorrow* (May 8). Visit www.ba.com and click on "London for Free." BTW, you're not limited to London for your primary destination. Even if you choose to go to another country, you can still get free nights in London if you wish.

Students and faculty get great discounts for airfare at:

I got tix for my husband and I (you can add a non-student spouse at statravel) in September, RT from Orlando to London for $385 plus $100 in taxes...
