Cheapest way to get from Paris to Rome?
 

Does anyone have any tips on the cheapest way to get from Paris to Rome?

I flew Air France in March for $138 round trip.

A cheap fare (not as low sa $138, though) was recently mentioned from www.travelocity.com flying on Corsair.<BR><BR>If that isn't available, look into flying via London - - www.ryanair.com begins STN-Ciampino this summer - - www.easyjet.com flies Paris-London - - or via Brussels - - train there, then www.virgin-express.com to Rome.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

A couchette on the overnight train is about 111 Euros. www.sncf.com

Try going to anyway.com. Its a French site but easy enough to figure out even if you don't speak french. Unbelievable deals!

Saw a thread about a new cheap intra-France airline. Is this it? Don't read any French.<BR>

does anybody know this?<BR>

Nope, anyway is a travel agency. Don't know of any new airline.

The new airline is Air Liberte Express--only flying within France currently.<BR><BR>Wondering, consider Ryanair from Charleroi to Rome. Train up to Belgium could be well worth the savings. Also consider Virgin Express from Brussels to Rome.

Ryanair is 28.42 EUR one-way with all taxes and fees included. This is their current mid-week fare for July.

Don,<BR><BR>Do you have a website address for Air Liberte Express? I suppose I could look it up.<BR>

http://www.airlibexpress.com/Airlib_front/processus/index.html<BR><BR> I'm only aware of it because someone posted here on the forum about a week ago (wish I could recall who?).

I once had an artist friend whose business card said something like "good - cheap - fast. Select two of the above." <BR>Since you only want one of the above for your travels, you have all the time in the world and can manage in any circumstance. So go for it -- the best choice is thumb it. <BR><BR>I have hung out my thumb and have picked up hitch hikers around Europe. It is an interesting and cheap way to travel.
