When is the most affordable time of year to travel to Europe (flight and hotel-wise)

When is the most affordable time of year to travel to Europe (flight and hotel-wise)?
I'll be leaving from the SE United States. I think Charlotte, NC is about the cheapest airport to leave from. I haven't decided where in Europe i want to go, but iwas thinking Germany....nothing is definite.

Off season time

If you are travelling to Germany - you will want to visit 'off season' - but depending on where you want to go depends on when 'off season' is... Typically flights are less expensive from March-May... but you will need to do some research & I would recommend figuring out where you want to go (as Germany is a huge country & there is a lot of variety in what to see). We live in the Rheinland-Pfalz state & have many great things to see (castles, vinyards, old medieval/Roman towns) - but some things aren't open during certain months or have more limited hours. If you travel to Bavaria (in the south), ski season is from late October - March (sometimes April). Some major airports in Germany: Frankfurt, Berlin, Cologne (Koln), Munich. Good Luck!

This depends on where and exactly when you want to go to some extent. In general, tickets are cheaper until about the third week in March and then prices start to go up. I fly back to the US at the end of February for a few days every year, and that's always my cheapest trip back. August and Christmas are peak travel times, so the prices are somewhat higher. You might look at flying into Amsterdam; it's often cheaper than flying in and out of Germany. Once you're in Europe, there are good rail connections and lots of budget airlines to go point-to-point.

well the cheapest will be in the winter time, cuz noone really likes to ravel t europe in the winter, at least i dont. In the summer time it's ridiculously expensive...
5 :
Forget about flying from Charlotte. You'll likely need to leave from Atlanta or Washington, DC. Or talk to a travel agent - maybe you can get a flight from Charlotte to Germany that goes via New York. Roundtrips to Europe from Washington start at 600 USD, Atlanta should be around 700 to 800 USD (all prices are total, including taxes). Check out Lufthansa, LTU, Condor, Zoom, etc. From Atlanta look into flying to Stuttgart, from New York fly to Frankfurt or London, LTU typically flies to Duesseldorf which is in the Rhine-Ruhr Area and close to Cologne. There are no intercontinental flights to Berlin, going to Berlin by plane would require you to change either in Frankfurt or London. January and March are low season for flights across the Atlantic, November and early December can be good value too if you avoid the Thanksgiving crowds. Book either at least 2 months in advance or hop on a last-minute special. Spring (May) and fall can also be good times to go. Talk to a travel agent about getting tickets to Germany from NC for under 700 USD including taxes. Have them alert you when they can sell you such tickets, buy them and go! Cost of a typical cheap-cheap trip (staying at hostels, eating food from the supermarkets) is around 50 EUR per day and person (roughly 75 USD) in most parts of Western Europe. There is no change, whether you go in summer or winter. Hostels might have winter special rates, but this slight advantage is set off by the fact that many outdoor activities like cycling are impossible or outdoor attractions like parks are closed. If you go in winter, avoid the winter skiing resorts or typical winter destinations like Austria and Switzerland.

We booked flight tickets to los vegas on may 22nd + swine flue?
Hiall, We live in Charlotte, I am excited that we are going to Vegas on may 22nd but at the same time I am afraid ofthe swine flue. Do you think we need to cancel tickets, to avoid any chance of swine flue. THanks for all your time and effort...

Even with trip insurance, your money won't be refundable. Your chances of getting swine flu are probably greater going grocery shopping at your local store. Think of who may have had used the cart before you. Someone picking up their kid from daycare, putting him in the seat and him holding the bar on the cart. After he has been in a room with 20 other kids all day.
2 :
I don't think the Swine flu is prominent in any certain part of the country. The best thing to do is carry on with your normal life, but make sure you pay extra attention to hand washing, coughing and sneezing into your sleeve, etc. You basically have the same chance of getting it or not getting it anywhere you go, so you may as well enjoy yourself in Vegas. Today's Las Vegas Sun reports that no Swine Flu has been found in Nevada. http://lasvegassun.com/news/2009/apr/26/no-reports-swine-flu-nevada/

Why because ONE toddler died from this? This is media hype. Even if you do catch it, its not worse then the typical flu to most healthy adults. And I dont even think there is one reported case in Vegas anyway. Ivgeno-- I could not agree more. Joe Biden did a very foolish thing. He is just lucky that most people did not listen to him lol. Telling people not to travel in the middle of recession.. what a joke.

I would not worry about it. I believe the media is making too big of deal. If you are healthy and want to go then go and have fun. Good Luck!!!
5 :
You would be silly to cancel. The swine flu is just something for the news media to get excited about. More people die each year from the regular strain of flu, I think they said 33,000 Americans each year. Think about it. You could get the flu anywhere. That idiot of a vice president joe biden is just that, an idiot. I won't even put his name in capital letters. Thank goodness his boss sat him down and read him the riot act. OMG. Another Spiro Agnew. LOL Besides the flu strain love colder weather and not hot like it is here. You will be less likely to catch it here than up north.
6 :
well i'm flying from boston to buffalo this weekend and i dont plan on canceling my trip..take that for what its worth
7 :
Dont be paranoid. Its a flu. Its not Ebola. Its not AIDS. Its not Bubonic Plaque. Its a fricken flu. Why would you change your plans over a flu bug? Honestly.
8 :
& that toddler was not from Texas either. Visiting here from Mexico.
9 :
Won't make any difference. There are so many diseases already in the world. What is one more?
