….or in the next year. Get planning now.
There has never been a better time for Americans to visit Europe.
The strength of the dollar and new low-cost transatlantic flights have changed the game.
The euro is at a 12-year low against the dollar. Goldman Sachs even predict parity with the euro in six months time. Others predict parity in early 2016. Either way, most experts agree that the dollar will continue to strengthen over the coming year. You might never see a period where you’ll get more bang for your buck.
But there’s other BIG NEWS this year.
There is a quiet revolution going on in the airline industry with transatlantic flights.
In case you didn’t know, Norwegian airlines are have already started doing DIRT CHEAP flights from the east coast to Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen. I’m talking under $150. (I flew back to Europe this year for $140 – including taxes and charges!)
There’s more good news. In October of this year, Icelandic carrier WOW airlines will be commencing cheap flights to Dublin, Ireland, starting from €149. (Compare this to today’s price of $500+)
Lads, 2015/16 is the year to take a Eurotrip.
Argh!
Do you still recommend skyscanner as the best way to find cheap flights? Also, what do you recommend for finding lodging as that seems to be the biggest travel expense?
Skyscanner is still no.1
I use Airbnb or hostelworld.
awesome heads up, do they have deals for canada, seems like only usa and europe gets the deals?
ps that swedish woman is hot, wish they ditch that hipster hels look and go for that style
I’m planning my trip as we speak, I’ll be in Belgrade the first week of May
Is it cool to bring back girls to an Airbnb place?
Headed to Spain next week. A little too much time back home, need some adventure.
This post makes me so glad I booked a 3 week long mini adventure in July throughout Europe. Also, have you heard anything about the island of Ios in Greece? Spending 5 days there (obviously a tourist beach spot), if you have any input on there, let me know.
