And some airlines have flights to Europe in the fall for around $300 round-trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">First, the bag fee: Hungary-based Wizz Air has been charging passengers up to $50 for carry-on bags but as of Oct. 29, they\u2019ll fly the baggage for free. This brings the carrier in line with policies of other European discounters like Ryanair and Easyjet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Are you listening, Spirit and Frontier?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">As for those very cheap flights to Europe, all I can say is if you\u2019ve ever dreamed of getting on a trans-Atlantic flight to visit the continent, your time has come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">These deals weren\u2019t hiding.

What\u2019s OK and not OK at security<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Haven&#8217;t gone on vacation yet? Here&#8217;s the date to fly<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Best deals: Round-trip fares to Europe from $300 to $399<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; New York to Oslo, $307<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Miami to Copenhagen, $312<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Boston to Madrid, $314<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Providence, R.I. to Edinburgh, $328<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Los Angeles to Stockholm, $352<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Newark to Zurich, $352<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Detroit to Rome, $383<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; New York to Paris, $393<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Honorable mention: Round-trip fares to Europe from $400 to $459<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Chicago to Brussels, $407<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Dallas to Paris, $409<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Dallas to Amsterdam, $410<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Washington, D.C. to Dublin, $412 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; New York to London, $414<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; New York to Madrid, $417<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Atlanta to Rome, $417<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; San Francisco to Dublin, $422<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Los Angeles to Rome, $427<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Seattle to London, $459<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Fares to Europe have been wonderfully cheap for some time now, but who knew this delightful state of affairs would last so long? And it\u2019s not just discount airlines like Norwegian Air offering the deals; some of the fares listed are offered by Air Canada, American Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa and other names you know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">How to find these super-deals? As noted, a deal-finding tool is useful but you can also find cheap fares simply by figuring out unpopular times to fly and inconvenient routes. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Look for unpopular seasons: Summer fares to Europe are expensive; fall and winter fares are cheaper, outside of major holidays like Christmas and New Year\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Look for unpopular days to fly: Departures and returns in the middle of a week are often cheaper than weekend flights.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">&#8211; Look for inconvenient routes: Connecting flights can be cheaper than nonstops but not always; some of the best deals in the above lists are nonstops. Always check to see which is a better deal.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">And of course, you should always compare fares; no single airline always has the best deal for U.S. flights or international travel. Have a safe flight!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Lifestyle\/typo-flights-europe-fall-cost-300-round-trip\/story?id=48750939<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/lifestyle\/smart-living\/this-is-not-a-typo-flights-to-europe-in-the-fall-cost-around-300-round-trip-right-now.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not a typo: Flights to Europe in the fall cost around $300 round-trip right now Not much shocks me when it comes to the air travel industry, but a couple of things happened this past week that made me do a bit of a double-take.
