Grizzly Slushie 1487 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 2012 Summer Olympics is the reason no flights with my name on it are heading towards Europe for the summer. Most likely in the Autumn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spud271 47779 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 I would wait until autumn as well. The Summer Olympics in London are not the only thing happening in Europe this summer, the European Football Championships are happening in Poland and the Ukraine as well. Flights to anywhere in Europe have gone up more than normal for the summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 I don't think the various events have much effect apart from the place and times they're at, which is not "all of Europe, all summer". If you want an explanation for why things are expensive right now, look at oil prices and the way they're going... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lipualipua 4704 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Have you tried EasyJet? I know that within Europe the cost of flights on this airline is cheap. I don't know the cost of a trans-atlantic flight though. Good luck in your search. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 I don't think Sleazyjet does trans-Atlantic (although I'm sure they'd like to). IIRC, the trans-Atlantic flights are regulated by the countries at each end, and generally limited to one or two carriers from each side... and the well-connected airlines snapped up those opportunities long ago.

Or wait until the first week of September, the weather is still nice and the Parisians are all back from their month-long August holiday, although I have never been to Paris when some group isn't off work on strike. It's either the train people, or the metro, or the waiters or somebody. Just hope that it's not the garbage collectors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lipualipua 4704 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 You couldn't tell by the huge numbers of passengers that it was not an OK airline. I travelled on it between Geneva, Rome and Berlin just last month and found it OK. Sure, amenities are rustic but then is not the whole point in travelling moving safely from point A to point B?
