I'm looking into planning a small trip around Europe for 3 weeks or so, and would like to check for the cheapest air tickets I can get (I'd like to customize my experience, and travel solo).
I live in Montr茅al, Qu茅bec, but could go to another airport. I've heard of people driving to Plattsburg since tickets are cheaper, and parking is free.
Any tips welcome!What is the cheapest time/destination for air travel from Northeast America to Europe?You may have better fares going out of Toronto than Montreal although there is a big push lately to get Air Canada to focus more on Montreal as a hub. In the mean time, be sure to include Toronto in your flight searches plus Boston, NY-EWR and NY-JFK as well, as these airports often have fare sales and you may save a lot of money flying through there and taking a commuter jet from Montreal to catch your JFK flight.
As for time of year, peak season for European travel is on, and will be going on till late September or even into October. You have a short window in late October where flights may become cheaper but then fares go back up for the holidays. The real bargain fares are usually found around January through early March, when the European weather is not the prettiest and flights are empty.
Check into London (either Heathrow or Gatwick) as you can get to pretty much anywhere else from London, either by train or by plane. There have been a lot of sales to Madrid lately so I'd check out those fares as well. In the winter months, most of the destination cities are on sale so I'd pick based on convenience.
