How to avoid high airfares?

Avoid peak summer season for traveling to Europe. This caution is because during summer peak traveling season means costly airline traveling, high accommodation prices, heavy crowd of people on your favorite places etc. The best time to visit Europe on cheap and reasonable air fare is off-season time period such as May or September. If you want to visit Europe during summer season, then you can check alternative ticketing. The main goal of traveling during off season time is to cut off between 20% - 30% from the peak time. You can check out discounters, consolidators, and charter tickets during off-season period. The reputation and importance of your destination is another big factor involved in high airfares, such as if you are traveling to big city then you have to pay high airfare, but the advantage of traveling to big city is that you can take advantage from consolidation, discounters etc. Try out these favorite consolidation cities: London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris etc.

Solve you transportation problem:

If you have reached Europe and you are looking for private cab, rent a car, daily metro etc for internal transportation then change your choice, the best choice for internal transportation is train.
