If
you've never heard of Air Hitch, it's a great
way to get to Europe inexpensively. Air Hitch
sells left over tickets on commercial airlines
and charters at heavily discounted fares. I
flew with them twice and both  times
had good experiences. The first time I was trying
to get to Northern Europe from NY. I had a choice
of a flight from NY to Paris or Boston to Amsterdam.
I was trying to save money and the $169 one
way price tag was hard to beat. I met the Air
Hitch rep in Manhatten and he gave me my ticket
to Amsterdam and off I went on the bus. The
second time I was trying to get to Europe inexpensively
I bought another ticket from Air Hitch. This
time I was put on a Tower Air Charter flight
from JFK to Rome(and even had my tickets in
my hand 5 days in advance!)and sat next to a
guy who had paid over $800 for his tickets.
These discounted fares are mostly bought one
way, so you will need a little flexibility to
get a return ticket, but both times it saved
me hundreds of dollars.So if you want to get
to Europe inexpensively, check out Expedia,
Travelocity, Sidestep but don't overlook Air
Hitch!
