inter-european flights
 

If anyone has any information about airlines <BR>with Europe for inter-european flights please <BR>help. My husband I have round trip tickets <BR>on air france to Paris from Atlanta, and we <BR>have decided to extend our stay unplanned. <BR>We would like to fly to Venice for a few days <BR>from Paris and return to paris for our trip <BR>back to the states. Would like to find the <BR>best fares within Europe for this purpose. <BR>Thank you for any assistance.

Did you check Microsoft Expedia Travel? We got some info last month. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, our European skies are not as open as yours, especially for smaller stretches such as Paris-Venice. Actually, you could get a good deal if you book in advance with Air France and Alitalia, the two regular companies on this destination. You might also try France's biggest tour operator, Nouvelles Frontières. All those companies have web sites. Expect to pay between 1400 and 2000 F. Otherwise, there is the overnight train solution.

Why don't you take the night train from Paris to Venice?

We've taken the overnight train from Paris to Florence. It was great fun; ate in the dining car and had a sleeper compartment with breakfast brought to us by our attendant. I would recommend it. We paid about $150 per person.

I was just inquiring for my own trip. A very helpful Delta SkyMiles agent told me that they offer a "Eurohopper" fare. If you have a transatlantic ticket you can buy the Eurohopper which gives you 3 legs within Europe for $130/leg. Minimum of 3 legs, however, so check out the regular fares and see which will be better for you. I was quoted $410 rt for Zurich/Venice in March 2000.

come see us in www.eurotrip.com cheap flight forum- we've got listings of all intra European airlines etc., the Europass -3 legs are $99 each we have the website for that one too
